This Hab plant is a machine!

My Orange hab that I cut back actually seems to be thriving! If all goes well it is going to be a huge shrub by next fall. I cut it way back and it is absolutely covered in new growth. I can't wait til next spring!:)

Pics? :D

The plant I rescued before the freeze still has about 20 pods on it, all but one almost completely ripe. In another day or two, I'll finish trimming it, but the parts I already trimmed are - like yours - doing great. I could have peppers by April Fools Day.

BTW, bringing that plant in produced right at 100 peppers, most a decent size.

Pics? :D

Yeah, sorry. I've gotta get on that!:oops:

[cheezydemon]

There you go Omri.

Um ... my eyes I cant see arggggg

[Omri]

Thanks, actually looking pretty good.

[cheezydemon]

Yeah, considering it was down to almost no foliage whatsoever a month and a half ago.

[Omri]

It really is a machine. :D
You must be proud. :P

[cheezydemon]

Indeed, as proud as a father who's son just won the little league big game! I have grand visions of this plant hitting a grand slam in the big leagues this summer in my garden!lol

of all the fancy shmancy chile plants, the good old orange hab is still a big favourite of mine

Orange habs are my pod of choice in our rangeofsauce. Hot and tasty.
They grow like weeds up here.
Nice looking plant

Hey Cheezy -- thats about how far back I cut my Piquin back too and I thought it wasnt enough but I figured what the hell and give it a go. I have lots of new growth buds and growth in just a partly sunny window. Hope to have them under flourescents soon --- that Hab is a beast....

Are going to try hydro this winter?

Lol, you remembered. No Hydro this winter. A new baby and an unexpected change of career froze the discretionary fund for now.

We will see. If just cutting back and overwintering goes well I probably won't do the hydro after all. I am a firm believer that anything that did well in a pot or a cup would have been two to three times bigger out in the garden.

Still wanna try myself --- just a little coercing to the funds holder is all I need to do but something about "Christmas" is putting a damper on it... apparently she doesnt see the importance of the whole idea :lol:
