A huge mistake! Sadly enough the Chinese seller was so poor he couldn't even pay attention while he was sorting the seeds. Actually he just ripped me. But no fears, no tears. I'm not going to buy 200 cayenne pepper seeds again for €2,50. Normal price is about €5,00 for 10 seeds. (I recommend you to just buy dried reapers you have much more seeds for less money) Please forgive me. I will continue the blog about the fake peppers, soon I will start the real work ;)

So guys, you may think this is going way to fast to be real. You are a little right because I don't say everything in 1 day for 1 blog. Else I can't surprise you guys on every blog. So I saw this already 2 days ago. But now I'm sure that it is a flower! And the photo:
So about 3 days ago I discovered something, it was not nice. I just let it go for a while and looked if anything was getting worse. And yes it was getting worse! The disease is called leaf-miner. It is from a fly. If you see white lines on your plants, cut the affected leaves off!
My peppers are doing great so far. No issues yet, I hope it will stay like that... The plant is super healthy, I forgot to say in the last blog that I repotted the plants in a bigger cup. Here is the photo:
So, it was about 1 week when I published the last post... Now I can see leaves much better then before. I added fertilizer to grow the peppers a tiny bit faster. Of course... Photooo!
The last blog was I think 5 days ago. Now they are growing super fast. I can already see leaves popping up!
Today is the big important day. I am going to plant the seeds. There is also a trick for planting those seeds that many other people use, but I don't like it that much. I just plant the seeds in cups with holes so excess water can leak out. You have to plant the seeds about 1 cm below the surface (1/3 inch). DONT EVER WATER TOO MUCH! You can drown them very easily. They donnot need much light, but also not too little. This is what other people do: What they are doing is they poke a hole in 1 cup, then the second cup is filled with water, so the dirt is going to be automatically watered.
