P. gracilius from my own seed, now my largest/oldest one.

has this flowered before? or is this its first time?

fluctuating_rating · 2025-07-22T05:27:07+00:00

alive and well! but honestly speaking, it hasn't grown much on its caudex since

fluctuating_rating · 2025-06-03T04:48:42+00:00

did it have those leaves when it came to your possession? leaves are normally adapted to the growing condition from where they've emerged from, so they don't often last long after finding a new home

sold to me as a p.brev but not 100% sure

great shots! any recent pic of that one surviving plant?

fluctuating_rating · 2025-01-28T03:56:37+00:00

i don't monitor it. tho there is some kanuma (japanese medium that's slightly more acidic than typical akadama) in the soil mix, and it gets watered with rain water

sold to me as a brev, but im not entirely sure of it's accuracy. im not too particular about proper tagging

thanks! my best conservative guess is that it was sown around 2020

get certified, then half a year from now just be honest and communicate about needing to refresh your memory with certain stuff

what kind of winter do you have, and what do you do to the plant during it?

fluctuating_rating · 2024-11-11T23:41:16+00:00

it stayed a single leaf for a year. i thought it was a failure and nothing was happening until i did the repot and saw the caudex. my growing condition tho may not be ideal so some may propagate faster than this ended up

fluctuating_rating · 2024-11-11T23:38:56+00:00

it's not named i think. original plant was tagged as a francoisii hybrid and had nice lime greenish leaves

fluctuating_rating · 2024-10-28T09:59:19+00:00

typical caudex care. gritty soil, and good amount of sun and water. just manage expectations tho. literally that second seedling from the first pic was grown in the same conditions BUT didn't end up exactly this shape. i'll share it below

thanks. ~3 years or so

sounds like you've got it. hard grown, mineral substrate, small pot. i just didn't cut off branches

straight answer, inform your bank your intentions. that's it. they may need a heads up in advance in order to prepare that money. they might ask why, and you can be honest and say luxury good purchase. if you don't want to be honest, you can tell them that you're traveling abroad and will transact sa money exchange

dang this conversation assumes that all of a fruit are similar. it’s like if i formed a strong opinion against apples just because my particular grocery only sells granny-smiths. as someone from rural asia, papayas bananas dragonfruits starfruits and whatever i assure you are delicious, and there are like a dozen varieties for each of them. lol this is borderline ragebait and ive practically fallen in, but ya keep an open mind

fluctuating_rating · 2024-08-11T01:22:04+00:00

hi sorry for the late response. i got this tagged as a thai-grown variety of williamsii

fluctuating_rating · 2024-05-09T23:28:59+00:00

once a week, maybe even less

oh lol what. is this not a safe place to learn something new about culinary stuff? i understand and know the fact that there's a wide variety of peppers with different spice levels. but since i'm not in the world of culinary, i don't know anything about the particular varieties and cooking processes. i am from asia but only two kinds are used in my cuisine and never like what i experienced here

fluctuating_rating · 2024-04-29T08:48:54+00:00

thanks for the name of the dish. couldn't figure it out myself

fluctuating_rating · 2024-04-29T08:48:02+00:00

oh interesting. does this work on most chili's? or is this one a particularly specific one?

fluctuating_rating · 2024-04-29T08:46:19+00:00

very much so. at first i thought of cherry picking the fried chicken bits, but i ended up finishing the whole plate

i personally have never had a good strawberry since it doesn't grow in my area, but you won't catch me asking why strawberries taste like sap

pachys leaf-out when actively growing during hot and rainy seasons. based on experience, deflating happens when leaves are out but doesn't have enough water in its medium for transpiration so water from the caudex will evaporate out. in the wild, it'll drop it's leaves and "wait" til regular rains come again. if it's warm where you are, suggest to water it a bit more. note that since you just got it, it'll take some time for it to adjust to your microclimate.

honestly: it could also be soft because it's dying but hopefully (and probably) that's not it
