Charlotte's Controller 195 Posted January 23, 2021 I had a similar gift, Chilli seeds they came with a coconut based media to plant them in. Subsequently I have found out that ground coffee residue is a similar medium for the growth. I'm drinking so much coffee in lockdown and I do like chillies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Single houseplant sells for £14,000 after frenzied online bidding war (msn.com) Interesting, seeing as you’d be unable to sell living things on eBay or other auction sites here in the US. That wasn’t the case about 18 years ago when I bought 6 plants of the world’s hottest pepper for my garden. But the next year I went to get more and the policy changed.
