I haven't been here for a while, the last time was ask about lavender

cutting I took and just stuck into another pot is still doing fine.

Anyway, my topic this time is aboutJalapenoplants.

The office had a charity coffee morning where they were selling cakes,
buns and coffee, and some enterprising sole decided to sell some
plants in pots. That was about four months ago I guess. Anyway I have
kept the pot on my desk since then. My desk gets morning sun from
sunrise until about 9 or 10 am, and then artificial light from then
until 9pm. So I now have a pot with three very green looking plants
about 8 inches tall. On two occasions one or other of these plants has
grown a white flower, which has lasted about a week, and then fallen
off. My question is should these flowers have resulted in a pepper
growing, or are the plants too young at the moment?

The soil is kept moist, and I have a Miracle-Grow plant food tablet
pushed into the pot.

Is there anything else I should be doing to see something interesting
like a pepper grow on these plants?

Cheers

Good news folks...

Two little baby Jalapenos have appeared! All of the flowers were
blooming and then shrivelling. The stem holding the flower would then
pinch in where it meets the main stem of the plant, and then fall off.
These two however I had tickled inside with my little finger!
