Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
Habanero Plant

It's not just the leaves but also the blooms are wrong... too large, too white, too conical shaped. At most it is a cross between a hab and something else, but my money's on it being some kind of annuum too, not a hab at all.

That makes it harder to say if healthy, without knowing what the ideal of its type would look like and lighting can play a factor on how deep green vs yellow a plant looks. Regardless I concur that it looks like it needs some fertilizer, that it's possible your soil mix has bound up too much nitrogen so I'd apply a fertilizer rich in nitrogen in tiny doses, frequently.

Although Home Depot usually has them marked correctly I have bought mislabeled peppers from them before..
The leaves do look a lot like some of the Chinense x frutescens superhot in full sun, nagas and bhuts and such
There are several blooms, it is unlikely they would all happen to be in exactly the same state of partially open, and it still doesn't account for their size or color. They are too large for a hab and too bright white. It does look to me like it's at least 1/2 annuum. Could the other half be orange brain strain? Anything is possible but I'm doubting that mix would end up at Home Depot opposed to a grower here reusing saved seed. IMO, more likely 1/2 hab and 1/2 some annuum the same seed seller (or nursery for already sprouted plants) offers at HD.cruzzfish said:
Buzz is certainly correct, don't get discouraged by anything one of us might post I've found 95% of the ppl on here are just trying to help anyway they can, but in the end the only important questions are: is your plant healthy, does it produce pods, do u like the taste of those pods? Everything else is just gobbledygook. It might be an orange hab or it may be a cayenne or it maybe a 7pot A hole burner, the only true question is does it make u happy? Just my $.02
The leaves definitely have a nice wave to them like a Bhut does. It looks like a healthy plant to me. If you give it any nutes make sure it's something with calcium in it since it's blooming, this will help prevent Blossom End Rot when the pods form. Any tomato based fertilizer will work but I'd recommend using half strength of it for peppers.
