I tried gluing flowers on Chilli/Capsicum blossoms a few years ago in a bid to obtain pure seed, rather than the fiddly bagging option. I almost instantly hit the wall with my gluing process, because the only PVA glue I could get was too toxic for the flowers and they dropped off before doing anything, the plant rejecting the flower, so to speak.
I read an old post of Karen O on the subject, but it seems it's not a practice anyone does, or at least posts about. Has anyone actually managed to get it to work, if so how did it work for you. This season, I have two Sweet Capsicums and a Habanero all growing in close proximity and will try again, this time I'll be using a toxic free homemade version of the generic PVA glue. My past effort. ![]() |

Why not use flour and water glue? It'll melt off in water, but by then your pepper should be growing?

Children’s school glue is what was used successfully in the article I posted.

Thanks Karen, I'll be giving this a go here this Summer, so hopefully I'll get the results I want this time.
