At the end of the season, this year, I decided to bring in a few plants to finish ripening pods. As the pods all finished off, I got rid of the plants. My chocolate habaneros hadn't even produced flowers, but I had brought one inside to see what would happen. At first it lost a lot of leaves and looked like death had come over it. After I stuck it in the tub and gave it a rinse to kill off aphids, the plant came back to life. At first it was just new leaves, but then it finally started to produce flowers. Now it is growing several nice pods and there are even more buds popping up all over the place. It also homes maybe a dozen or more ladybugs that are keeping the aphids at bay. Looks like I am going to hang on to this plant for next season. Almost feel like putting Christmas lights on it. Under the lights it really sucks back on the water too. Once or twice a week, I have to give it a watering because it starts to droop a bit. It almost impresses me more than when I was growing them outside.
