I bought a very unusal ornamental pepper with bright purple leaves. I have had very poor germination with the seeds and the seeds that do sprout are growing very slowly, probably our high summer time temps.
Has anyone had luck rooting peppers from cuttings? Any secrets/tips to help the process?
I have already taken a few cuttings and placed them in my propagation/cuttings area that gets misted several times a day. But, before I scarifice a good portion of these 2 plants I want to be sure I am not wasting my time.
I will know in two or three weeks if the cuttings I have taken already will root - it is just that I am in a hurry and was hoping someone had done this before.
Here is a photo of the plant. My cheap digital camera doesn't really catch the brightness of the colors of the leaves>
