Overwintering Peppers. Update. 4.9.23

 Some of the overwintered pepper plants are looking very nice.  Aphids continue to be an issue,  I spray them off at least twicexdaily with water, containing 1/4 tsp miracle gro in 2 quarts of water.  That knocks of the aphids, and seems to boost growth both health and rate.   Thecheating mats are off now.  The sunroom is warmer too.

JalapeƱo.   One blossom has opened, and there are lots of buds.  I should probably remove the flower buds.


The Tabasco pepper plants are both growing great!




The Serrano pepper plant is recovering.  The main challenge is keeping aphids in check.




I use a water spray, containing 1/4 tsp miracle gro in 2 quarts of water, to dislodge aphids and provide more nutrition to the plants.  That seems to help growth, and the leaves are darker green.

One Thai pepper plant died.  The other is on the top sunroom shelf, close to the sky window, because it doesn't fit under the LEDs.


The Cayenne is struggling.  The buds seem to grow, then stall.  It's alive, so I continue to take care of it.  It is also on the top shelf.

    Have you ever tried putting soap in your spray bottle to kill the aphids?
