These two chilli plants were grown at the same time from seed, one in a plastic pot, the other in terracotta. The plant in the plastic pot has 5 peppers and the other has none!

Why do you think this is??

Thanks, Johnny Green Hats.

Terracotta dries out quickly and it also gets very hot if in the
sun -plastic does do that as qucikly. Other than that, you'd need to give a
few more clues before I'd ahzard any guess further than those 2
possibilites.

Maybe plant 50 and see what happens.

assuming that both post have had the same treatmesnt as far as watering and feeding, then the on in the terracotta pot will be less developed as terracotta is porous so water is lost through the pot.

Or maybe the plants are not genetically identical and the difference in the
pots is an unrelated coincidence, or something else. We don't know.

The chili plant originated in Latin America, where it was cultivated from its wild form by South American Indians. This plant, after flowering, produces small, spicy chilli peppers for the Hardman Norns to enjoy.

We are amazed.

Did you eat the chilis from one of the plants?

Sorry...
