Money Spider on Orange Thai Chilli Plant

This little money spider has made its home on one of my Orange Thai chilli seedlings in the bathroom. No harm, it can stay!

Tequila Sunrise (~ 30 days)

This is the 'Tequila Sunrise' chilli (Capsicum Annuum) at about 30 days after germination.



Been repotting a few more plants each couple of days when they sprout about 3 or 4 leaves.

Paper Lantern (~ 27 Days)

Quite a slow developer this, the Paper Lantern chilli. Note the yellow-hued leaves - the most yellow of all of the chillis.

Repotting at about 25 days

Transfer into larger pots from the mini-trays. Fill the pot and make a hole large enough (and deep enough) to push the knocked-out seedling and soil into. If you do it quickly you should be able transfer it all without the soil all falling off and finding yourself grasping at slim stem and delicate roots in your big banana-like fingers.



Once potted, water and leave to settle in.

All seedlings at about 22 days

Some of these started growing after others of course.

Bugs?

I just found one of these guys crawling beside one of my seedlings and picked it up and threw it out of the window before I thought to take a picture.

The image below is taken from [here] (I'm sure they won't mind) It looks as if it's a 'carpet beetle', and not a threat...



So, my stair carpet may be in danger, but at least the chillis are fine...
