Suz, I think it is all here in Houston. Come and get it.
I spoke too soon yesterday about the "Chili Red" bein' fine as frog
hair. It has what may be Phytophthora Pod Rot based on info on Graeme's
pages. There was no white moldy stuff inside the pod I opened (the one
that looked the worst), but there were a couple of the larger pods with
what looked like brownish bruises on them where the wall is very thin
and discolored and soft/rotting. Otherwise the pods and plant look in
perfect health. Have I diagnosed right? It is growing in a container;
I'll move it to get max ventilation and to try to dry it out some, but
not sure how well I can do with 100% humidity. And I removed the two
pods with obvious blemishes. I'll hold fertilizer. What else should I
do? Need I toss it out or isolate it to be sure this doesn't spread to
my other plants? Should I treat them with anything prophylactically?
(no, not *that* kind, Rael ;-) What else? Help.
