Dear Sushmita, My friend too has grown chilli plants from dried chilli pods and keeping the seeds in sunlight and has been using chilies from the same plants in the kitchen. But i did not know how to chk healthy and unhealthy seeds. Mani ji, thank u very much for the tip.
Cheers, Shubhada "I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do." ________________________________ From: mani nair <mani.na...@gmail.com> To: ajinkya gadave <ajinkyagad...@gmail.com> Cc: Sushmita Jha <sushmitas...@gmail.com>; indiantreepix <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tue, 3 August, 2010 1:02:54 PM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:43279] Advice please It could be also because of inferior seeds. Next time try to select healthy seeds from the dried chilli pods and put the seeds in sunlight. You can put some seeds in water and the ones which are healthy will go down and which are not healthy will float on the water. I have tried to grow the plant from the chillies from Mumbai market and was successful. Regards, Mani.
