I’ve never grown this specific kind but I have grown a purple variety before, the ripening process wasn’t this dramatic though they just kinda turned brown and then red
I always say peppers are gardening on easy mode but the fancy ones have always eluded me
I’m a bad gardener though, I bought a bag of 13-13-13 from the feed store and I drop that fertilizer napalm on everything. That and some bone meal are the only tools in my arsenal.
I do ok with the smaller/hot peppers but anything that’s supposed to get large never reaches it’s full potential, like the poblanos I tried never got bigger than a jalapeno.
In ground, I generally just wing it the first time I try to grow certain plants and only really get into reading/watching stuff about them if I’m struggling with it. I maybe over watered as I’d just soak them while going over other plants that need a lot more like tomatoes/cucumbers.
I’ve planted peppers like that a few times and never got the seeds to grow, too fancy for my ass

No kidding? That’s interesting, are you planting in the ground or in pots?

Ah yeah it might be over watering, peppers really benefit from getting dry feet regularly
once they’re an actual plant yeah they’re super easy, but getting the fucking seeds to grow is always tricky
I probably don’t say enough nice stuff to my baggies full of wet seeds, that’s on me
