The Jaloro has a sprout in the pod. Not above the sponge but inside.

My Jalapeno M has not germinated as of yet. I will give it a few more days and if nothing I will plant a pod with new seeds.
The Jaloro is doing well.

There is life in the pod, finally. I did plant another seed yesterday just in case.

There has been some growth, but leaf curl on the right plant. The next feeding it will get some Mooch!

I think the Jaloro wants more Mooch. Leaves are "ruffled" but I need to check as the leaves may just be like that.

mike , I need your assistance. This is my Jaloro Pepper. This pepper is said to grow 18" to 24". I want to make sure I remember what I learned from you. It has been a while since I had a full plant growing LOL The first picture, that is a full shot. However looking at the second one, shoyld I cut where the arrow is or just snip out the two new sprouts where the rectangle is? Thank you in advance.
Anyone else want to comment, yours are welcome as well  |

When I “FIM’ed” following that YouTube video I posted, I snipped where the circle is. It definitely made my two Sweet Heats bushier and (unnecessarily) shorter. Continuing to prune according to that video helped that along. Sweet Heats obviously don’t need it but I’ll be trying it again with some other plants that may.

I think I'd snip at the arrow, but not for a couple more days. But either location will work.

mike , it has grown. I know it is only a couple days and I can wait longer if needed. Here is a Picture with and without arrows. What do you suggest, do not cut or cut at A, B or C? Or somewhere else? I appreciate your help! Also is a picture of both plants together

Shawn, that's got a pretty sturdy base. I think I'd leave it alone. It has a natural split. You may want to clear a couple of the newer leaves on the upper left, but it looks good.

Excellent! Thank you. I will remove a couple of those uppers.

I trimmed a few newer leaves from the Jaloro as well as the other two largest leaves. I also topped the M.
