Hi all

2 questions:

I have a couple each of Rocotos and Orange Habs growing inside, and to my
eyes the seedlings look remarkably similar. They both have a purple stalk
base, which changes to green further up. The main leaves have a similar
shape to them (although the Habs might be slightly thinner), and they all
look kinda fuzzy, which I believe is a trait of the Rocotos. I guess my
question is - do I actually have Habs or did I just mistake the chilli I got
the seeds out of, for a Hab? The seeds were white, not black like a Rocoto.

One of the (definate) Rocoto plants has some leaves which are kinda
'withered', much like thin plastic goes when exposed to heat. The rest of
the plant seems quite healthy. What could cause this, and what can I do
about it?

Thanks in advance for the answers...
