Capsicum Galapagoense ( 97450083 )

[PepperLover 0]

hi guys the Capsicum Galapagoense is one if my best wild ever i been trying to grow this one for three years now last year i had 4 plants one of them was healthy and gave me about 3 pods but they didnt ripe and the plants start dieing dont know why but i dont have the enoug experince to handle such truser but i wont give up @ all this year about three day ago i found that we have website sell the Capsicum Galapagoense its expensive but i will keep trying till i grow em like all others peppers .

 

the web site was out of the Capsicum Galapagoense CGN22208 but they have another thing called Capsicum Galapagoense ( 97450083 )

 

i dont know what is the differance bettwen the CGN22208& the 97450083

[Lonewolf 18,645]

I don't know the difference between that two varieties of C.galapagoense ... but I'm growing a lot this year, with many different names and they all seems quite similar.

 

I grew one in 2008, a lot of flowers, but only 1 pod (ripen); I've still the plant ... let's see if this year it will produce better (having some other plant of the same species with which to hybridize).

 

You're right! The C.Galapagoense is one of the most interesting wild; great plant, strange pubescens leaves and, when young or in other moments (not always), a very intense smell.

thats right claudio this is one of my best ever i will keep trying now i want to to give me advises for over wintering when to cut the branches and how and how long from the stem and all the other info about the over wintering i dont want to lose my plants if they come up this year.

now i wonder how in the world these people get such plant to give that amount of seeds to be able to sell them comercially. what is the dam secrect for such sucsess....?

[Lonewolf 18,645]

I verified ... I've both the same varieties of C.galapagoense you mentioned (and other)

The CGN 22208 however didn't sprout.

I've 2 plants of the other one (97450083) ...

 

I think our source was the same (Vladan).

The trick to get a lot of seeds in this case is probably to find the right conditions to get flowers setting up pods; I had hundreds of flowers, but only one setup a pod ...

This year I'll try varying the growing conditions, wet and shady instead of sunny and dry.

[andrea71b 1]

the different is 97450083 produces more pods and taller plant from CGN 22208. they are two different C.Galapagoense from same species.

I don't know if there is any difference bettwen the pods. I buy only 97450083 and I ask the difference about the two plants.

one seed 2 weeks after it germinated and I beheaded. the other 4 after 4 weeks without germinating I thought they were dead, then I have thrown

[Lonewolf 18,645]

Not a good idea!

 

I saw C.galapagoense's seeds sprouting even after 8-10 weeks!

the problem is not only in germination or growing healthy plant or even flowering but the main thing is if u can get pods from

For my part, my peppers are wintered in my house

before they are sprayed with a solution of neem and soap to avoid aphids

[Lonewolf 18,645]

Welcome Sylvie!

 

Why don't you present yourself in the proper section?

 

Your C.Galapagoense is very nice! Did you get already mature pods?

 

Today I lost two of last pods on my plants ... yesterday they were there, almost ripe; today they disappeared ... damned birds

However I got many dozens of pods

 

It's a nice idea to treat plants before bring them indoor; otherwise aphids will come within few days ...
