I got a bunch of plants through this way (wife not looking over shoulder?),
"But Honey, they need sunlight to ripen the peppers, & it's a RARE type!"
After the last pod ripens bring to cellar, cut back all new growth & give
plant a clipping, 8-10 hrs. incandescent, 8-10 hrs. fluorescent, 8-10 hrs.
darkness (important lights as close as possible). Have a Tough Love Chile
Co. Tepin.. http://www.tough-love.com/seed_descriptions.html#TEPIN
going nuts.. an unknown Jal almost as productive... Tri color ornamental
from http://www.tough-love.com/seed_descriptions.html#TRICOLOR
doing OK... & another unknown hanging on. The mistake I made was in
believing because all the leaves dropped off, the plant had died. The Tepin
was brought upstairs in spring with no leaves, left in sun, & came back to
life. Will make sure this winter I keep all of them until warm enough to
take outside.
Hope this helps,
Paul
