It is so hard to find the peppers with all the flowers and lined leaves. Here are two of the Candy Canes. One you can already see the lines on it.
You can see the way the leaves are what burpee calls "eye catching". The leaves are not all green. At first you think something is wrong but they are normal.  Here is the larger of them that I could locate I am not that impressed with the Candy Apple. It has not grown much. It does have flowers but this plant wont produce much I do not think as for the size. I am going to leave it for now and will determine at a later date if I will pull it. I may wait to get a pepper or two first. Here are the two plants together.
I may thin out some of the leaves on the Candy Cane (L)

I was hoping you would get a big harvest of nice size peppers.
Maybe trimming the leaves will give it a jump start.
Fingers crossed.

I am loving the way the Candy Cane Peppers are growing. I will get pictures. We are getting ready for a storm, well several coming thru so I need to go out and move a few things so they do not fly away.
I have been on the phone all morning with calls so I will be back with pictures.

Here are a few more shots of my Candy Cane Peppers and one of the Candy Apple Pepper The Two Together: Candy Cane shots. You can really see the striping in the leaves as well as the peppers. Oh BTW, yesterday one of them fell off. Mark said it had a very good taste and it was not even fully ripe yet.  Candy Apple: |

Love all the stripes and specks on both plants! They seem decorative in addition to (hopefully) tasty!

These do remind me of the Fish peppers I grew. I wonder if this was when My old 20D camera died. I couldn't find any pictures. Oh well.

I had to place some chopsticks in the pod to keep it standing tall. One side is heavier. It is hard to see the striping but you can see them ... the flash kinds made them a lot lighter. |

I am so intrigued by that striping! Looking forward to more color drama!

The Candy Apple plant did not grow much but it has two peppers on it that I can see at first glance. Here are a few pictures....   |

I am so upset. Out of the blue my Pepper plant is wilting. I have no idea what to do. I fed it yesterday with nutes and mooch. I have a fan blowing on it now for more circulation.
Any ideas why?

Check for all the basics.. Too much water, pump not running or water not flowing!..
What is mooch? I had this happen when adding Hydrogen peroxide and moving a plant from one environment to another..but they recovered after lowering the water level (not in AG but bubble container)
All you did was feed so maybe a cable unpluged, power strip switch.. pump failure.. go with the basics first.. wilting is stress either not enough water or not enough oxygen or too large a change in something PH/PPM, root stress.
May want to check the cage/roots and make sure they are not totally blocking the water flow.. maybe the plant got moved..
Good luck!
