harvesting Reusing your plants after harvesting fruit??

[Cartierusm]

I'm new to growing things, except mold in my fridge...LOL, but I digest...So I'm aeroponically growing some pepper plants in my closet. Once they fruit and I harvest the fruit can I reuse the plant instead of growing a new plant from seeds? If so what do I do?

You just do the same thing you were doing - let it grow. It will eventually produce more pods.

So after picking the pods, just let it be and it'll produce more flower and thereby more fruit on it's own?

Capsicums are perennial species, so they
will produce for a number of years. In my
climate here, after the last pods are picked
in the Fall, the plants can be cut back and
overwintered inside. They will grow out new
branches and when Spring/Summer arrive,
new flowers and pods.
 
there are some great overwintering threads
on the forum.

Ok great. Thanks.

Chiles are perennial plants, they'll keep growing and fruiting  if you give them what they want.

There is a wealth of information in the Growing Peppers category, where you can research overwintering, and more.  Just do a simple search.  Maybe too late for this growing season, but still good to know.

Great advice!
