Can you tell Chilli and Sweet Pepper Seedlings Apart?

Hi There

I have mixed all my Chilli Pepper and Sweet Pepper seedlings up. Is it possible to tell the difference between them before the fruit appear??

Thanks in advance for any help.

The point here is you don't need to know which is which.

You just need to divide them into 2 groups.

That should be straightforward enough as there will be consistent differences between the 2 types of seedlings.

That is a good point but I do like to put mu peppers into grow bags and my chillis into pots. I was just wondering, cheers

I could tell the difference between mine quite easily as the pepper plants grew larger and more quickly than the chilli plants. Don't know if this is the case with yours though.

With the ones I have grown the chilli plants had more pointy leaves.

Thanks guys.

I have been looking for size, shape, colour etc differences. Bit too noticeable at the mo. But will keep watch. :rotfl:
