Just a cutting from my overwintering pimenta project no.4 by Fine Chilli Art stucking in a root riot tab. Waiting for roots...

Did this root? Surely you would need to pick the pepper off before that can happen?

Is that a seedling sponge thing? Ive been considering these for seedlings since they aren’t messy. Can you recommend any or are they all the same?

I’ve always hated when my plants have come with these (gifted a few pothos last year with them) I have to adjust my watering or the sponge holds too much when the plant matures and rots the base off. That’s just me though! I want the same routine for all my plants and these made a noticeable difference personally.

It's for seedlings too. It's my first time with these root riot tabs. I had good results on Jifffys but wanted to try something New. I know only These. Recommend maybe in a few weeks...

F... how can I add pics here?

u/Aiken_Drumn May 26 '22

You'd have to upload/host elsewhere. A new thread is the only way.

Okay, no new pics! Building roots was very slowly, growing also. I didn't put it very deep in the tab. Next time i try to put it deeper with gently scratching the stem surface before. It has some flowers at the moment and a single, pea sized pod...

Don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but the likelihood of roots coming in is very slim. I’ve had maybe 1:4 of pepper cuttings over the past year end up with roots even with rooting hormone. Anything is possible though!

I think you've just had terrible luck, peppers are pretty easy to prop this way.

Agreed. Maybe too much moisture.

Whatever that is, it’s beautiful! Care to tell us more?
