Here are some images "Thai Dragon Chile Peppers" growing in my "Waterfall Drip System". These plants never reached full maturity, because they out grew their grow space. Eventually they grew into the light and got so heavy, the flimsy plastic containers collapsed into themselves.
This garden looked great in the start, but turned out to be a disaster. Overall, I think that it was a good design though. The plants just needed a little more room and stronger containers.
After the garden's collapse, I took a cutting from one of the plants and stuck it in a glass of water. Being lazy, I let the cutting sit in the glass for a couple of weeks and noticed that it still looked healthy. I added some fertilizer to the cup and hooked the air pump up to the glass. The cutting grew roots, new foliage, flowers and I even got two dozen chiles!
