Newbie: Growing chillies indoors
I really don't know what is the best bet, to be honest - some plants
would grow ok outside, some certainly won't. Lets face it, when some varieties will grow outdoors in Russia, yet others won't contemplate even a hothouse in the UK, it really leaves a lot of in-between varieties. To answer your question once and for all, if you have sufficient seedlings, time and the inclination, would be to try groups of the plants in a variety of conditions, ie some planted out, some outside in pots, some in pots inside, some in greenhouse etc. If the plant the seeds came from grew ok outside before in Co.Cork, I would guess there wouldn't be too much of a problem - the critical times, from my experience, are germination and flowering. Again, this is probably breed specific, but the general thinking is that a soil/compost/potting medium temp of 15 C at flowering/pollination is required to avoid the flowers just dropping off. I must point out that I'm still learning, and likely always will be, but I can talk with certainty about what I've found to work, with my plants, in my climate. This is not something anyone else is likely to know, who hasn't attempted the same thing under the same conditions. I know for sure that if I put my plants outside, whatever the acclimatisation period, they would either die or go dormant within a few days... So, my best advice is to experiment - if something works, great, if not, don't try it again! Sorry I cant be more help Dave My seeds have just germinated. When should I start planting them out? Or should I plant them out at all? Keep 'em in pots? Keep 'em indoors? The plant that the seeds came from was grown outside in Co. Cork which has a more temperate climate than Dublin. Can't remember if it was potted or in the ground. Thanks for advice... G Dublin, Ireland. -- |
