I found capsicum/chilli plants to be very cold sensitive. As soon as my seedlings were exposed to cold (<15 C) temperature they stopped growing for a week at a time. I found it better to keep them indoors under lights until at least mid-spring when the day and night temperatures remained warmer.

I have saved some seeds from jalepono chilli's. Do I need to let them dry before planting in egg container trays or should I dry them in an oven as I have been advised to. Another source says to plant in garden after 6 - 8 weeks, but I guess that when they are seedlings it would be time to transplant them? Temperate zone near Melbourne, Victoria.

Hi Hank. I place my Habanero seeds in seedling containers early August UNDER COVER. Through the years, I have found they will come up when they are ready. I also found that the egg containers will rot away. -Sam

Thank you Sam, I planted seeds in egg containers in late August but have yet to see them germinate into plants. When or if they do, should I simply plant them in the garden in the egg containers as I am aware they will rot away?

Im in darwin and I have a chilli seedling, it did have quite a few leaves on it and the roots were coming out of the bottom of the pot so I transplanted and now its just a chilli stick about 14cm tall. Is it dead? It lives outside on the balcony gets morning sun and water once a day. Any tips would be appreciated.
