Hi Kevin,
that's good to hear.
Actually, I probably screwed up with Orange Paruche. It's my habit to dip them in a very weak water solution of potassium permanganate for max. half an hour. But I completely forgot about them and they remained in it for almost 2 hours. The solution was brown. A very bad sign. I seeded them anyway (3 seeds) and they didn't germinate. But I suppose it was my fault as I poisoned them with manganese. I have enough left, so don't worry. As a result I've switched to hydrogen peroxide (about 0.5%) which I used for my second large batch and it worked well.
Should I try again? I have just moved some of my big plants (sown in Nov) into my "balcony-house". It's a construction, sort of tunnel, made of polycarbonate and polypropylene foil + non-woven textile to shade it from direct sunshine. It's equipped with lights and heating. Without heating, the temperature inside is about 4°C higher than the outside temperature. Actually, I can attach a photo or two. So I now have some free space.
Btw, I've got two red Start fruits.
The other one is on another plant.
