First of 2008 !

Hello and welcome back to my blog's first post of year 2008 ! The climate in Finland has treated us, victims of it, with ultracrappy weather.

However, things in the plant area have changed dramatically. The Bird's Eye Babies which I sowed late 2007, refused to sprout. However, I didn't give up. I emptied the bottle from far too sandy soil and replaced it with peat soil that has lots of delicious nutrients in it. It is also better than sandy soil, since it isn't that dense and allows water to pass through it much easier. This decreases the chance of overwatering the plant.

Now welcome, the Pink Habañero!


Pink Habañero, C. Chinense should grow a beautiful bushy tree!

As you can see here, it has been pre-germinated in a rockwool cube that has been in a plastic miniature greenhouse. Rockwool cubes are very handy when it comes in germinating seedlings -- They are cheap, absorb a *lot* of water and won't form mold very easily. We hope to see new growth in this little fella!

Also, it's friend has been updated too. Remember the thai dragon? I overwatered it and it fucking
died. First time killing a chile! However, I took another identical plant and repotted it.
It has now formed lots of new, fresh growth!

To my surprise it has also started splitting itself from the top, which means growth of first branches. Yay!

This is it for today, looking forward for your comments! Have a nice 2008.
