I decided I could no longer sit around a wait for my seeds to possibly germinate. So I decided to try to clone my venerable 2 year old ghost pepper. I poked around on the web for some tips and came up with this.
1) First cut new growth. Woody growth is less likely to sprout roots.
2) cut trimmings at an angle. I did not use any “root starter” because I’m cheap and wanted to get it done this morning.
3) insert in to watered vermiculite.
4) cover to maintain humitdity. Until the cuttings get roots the apparently the humidity can help the plant from drying out. I covered two of my three trimming with pint glasses to see if this helps.
5) put into grow box and wait. Apparently it takes 2 to 3 weeks.
