Greetings Steemians,
Some of you might have been following along with my pepper plant journey.
I was fortunate enough to acquire a bhut jolokia (ghost pepper) plant over the summer, and did my absolute best to nurture and care for it.
I was successful with this endeavor, and produced some 1 million scoville peppers, which ultimately my plan was to do the ghost pepper challenge.
That was my first post on 
So anyway, enough rambling.
After a little research on how to care for a pepper plant during the winter, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I could put the plant into hibernation!
Awesome! So now I'll be able to grow some more of these next year, and I might need to re-pot it into something bigger as well, but we'll worry about that when the time comes. This is the current state of my bhut jolokia:
As you can see, it's now sleeping, but still very green and healthy!
How about a semi-macro shot?
Indeed, bhut is very healthy, and even though pepper plants are asexual as far as I know, this plant feels female to me, I'm not sure why, but that's just the vibe I get, what do you all think? :)
Some of my green thumb friends might also notice the exposed roots. I'm well aware, and will take care of this next year. For now it's in a dark closet and I know it won't be an issue.
Here's what bhut looked like over the summer:
Not bad for growing in a coffee container! :)
In other news...
My succulents are under infestation currently with gnats. I think they are a "mold/fungus gnat", but unfortunately for them, my plants can go a long time without water, so I'm combating with refraining from watering. About a week without a watering and I notice the population has come down drastically, another 3 weeks I'm guessing we should be good. I know my plants will survive because I love them so much. I'll be taking some photos of them as well in the near future and sharing.
Thank you all for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful day!
