Chili Pepper Plant

Brief Description

The image shows a chili pepper plant with green leaves, some new growth, and a visible woody stem base. There are small white flowers or young fruits developing, indicating it is actively growing and producing. Some yellowing leaves are also visible, which could be a sign of environmental stress or natural aging.

Care Instructions

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.
