Thats a nice mix you got there.
I tried white Habanero last year but I didn't get a single seed to germinate, I got a bad batch of seeds. It put me off trying them again.

[Griffete]

This is my first time so se what happens i love Chillies as you can see 
Is there anything i should look out for ? ....i've started them of in them jiffy things so not to disturb the roots when planting them on....i've put 10 of each in so fingers crossed

ive been growing chilli's for a number of years know, this year ive restricted my self to only grow 2 varietiesf from seed, hot stuff and cayenne, but hopefully i'll be able to buy some cheyenne plants later in the year. note thate cayenne and cheyenne are two different varieties!

[BabbyAnn]

My favourite are Hungarian Hot Wax - they are so easy to grow, don't need to be started off too early like some of the very hot ones, can be planted outside when it's safe to do so and still give an amazing crop

I grow chillis every year, but this is my first year of trying Habanero. I sowed 6 seeds and had 100% germination within a week to 10 days, and they were bought from Premier Seeds on ebay. So on this experience, I don't think they can be too difficult to germinate normally.

This year I'm also growing Superchilli (my all-time favourite) and Fatallii.

Only Jalepino and Alberto's Locoto (Aji - Realseeds) for me.

some are some aren't, there's a lot of variation between the different types

I'm growing pretty in Purple and Cheyenne this year

[mattwragg94]

yeh as MOS says some can take a couple of days whereas others can take upto a month.

You should be fine with the jiffy things, the only problem I had with them was that sometimes the seed shell didn't come off which is usually because they were planted too shallow.
Nowadays I germinate them on wet tissue in little plastic pots (like the dip pots you get from the takeaway) with a lid and then transplant them when they sprout into 3" pots.
Not the only way, but it works for me.

[Griffete]

Thanks for the info....i've put them in about 5mm deep se if that works if not i've got more for backup...but thanks for the tip

I've been trying to over winter some Naga chillies in the house.  They were looking ok - had a few green leaves.  But during that really cold spell all the leaves fell off. I've moved them to the warmest spot in the house but can't see any new growth.  After pampering them for a year I'm reluctant to give up on them but shouldn't they be starting to grow again?
