Chili pepper plants thrive in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). They prefer well-draining soil and consistent watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Protect from frost. Pruning can encourage bushier growth and more fruit production. This plant appears to be indoors near a window, which is common for overwintering or in cooler climates, and thus requires adequate light.
