Why are my peppers growing upside down? You can't tell but I actually have three on the plant and all three of them are growing upside down. :ohwell: Why? :confused:

that's pretty wild, never saw that before

I did a garden last year, had all kinds of beans planted, Lima beans, green beans and peas, they did nothing last year. I didn't even do a garden this year, but since Debby, the garden flooded so bad and now all the beans are growing like crazy. How can something a year later all of a sudden start growing? Gotta love nature.
 
The seeds came from China and they are just trying to get oriented :)jet:). You buy those at WalMart?

Must be!! LOL! The rest are fine. I was like WTF?? They are upside down, plant is right-side up.. :lol: Is this normal?

They are poisoned, destroy them immediately! :killingme JK, I'm sure they are fine. Maybe it had something to do with that strange storm you guys just had.

Super Chilis grow the same way, they look like jalapenos but grow straight up.

I'm guessing this one is some kind of hybrid too...

Or you can pull it up and replant the other way around.

Actually, yes. The flower faces up when it blooms, so that's the direction the pepper will start to grow. Eventually as they get heavier they should turn over.

Would THIS face lie?
When you planted them, did you notice which way you placed the seed...I heard sometimes if the seed isn't right side up, they will grow like that...Next time look on the seed for a little "This side up" sign... Good luck
