Bhut Jolokia Bonchi

I was growing this and trying to create a bonsai over the growing season. I would pinch off any leave that got over the size of a quarter and it seemed to regulate it's height itself. I got this plant as a seedling along with two others that grew to 3 feet or so.

Dude those things are awesome! Give me hope for my stupid small space I'm gonnna try and grow peppers in this winter!
 
Your Bhut pepper is beautiful and I love the pics!!! And I thought that growing bonsai was done by root cutting and grafting, little did I know.
 
I harvested one earlier, and it has three on it now. It's approximately 8 inches tall now. I wasn't really going for pod growth, just something different. This is it's first year, so hopefully I can keep it small. I really like the small leaves, all are only 1/2-1 inch.

Looking real good. I stupidly let mine die last year. Pulled a huge number of pods from it too.

How old was that plant. It looked really good.

What light are you using? And how long has this plant been growing?

I had it growing outside with all my other potted peppers in 5 gallon lowes buckets. I moved it inside approximately a month ago and trimmed the roots and repotted to a small pot. Right now I have them under two 4 foot shop lights with my orchids. I think that I am going to try this with all my overwintered superhots. It's not like I go through lots of those peppers anyway.
