That is a long time, but not unheard of however. Do they form little
buds which drop off before they become flowers? If you are feeding
them with a chemical fertilizer maybe stop for a while and just give
them water. Especially if they are profusely growing dark green
healthy looking leaves, and putting on a lot of new growth. That said
however, I am struggling with a rocoto I obtained from Calvin. He
kindly selected a monster yellow pod from the rocotos he sometimes
buys in bulk, and sent me some seeds from it. Only one germinated
successfully. This plant has been pampered and fussed over since
early March, but will not grow any larger than it's current 4"
height. Periodically I pop it out of it's pot to examine the root
system, but all seems to be in order there. My only guess is that
when I transferred it from the peat cell in which it germinated to
the first pot, I might have used a potting compost to which the plant
was averse. It is slowly growing through this now; so we'll see if it
picks up when it encounters the top soil.
Or am I growing from a plant that was an F1 hybrid?
