My Orange hab that I cut back actually seems to be thriving! If all goes well it is going to be a huge shrub by next fall. I cut it way back and it is absolutely covered in new growth. I can't wait til next spring!

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.
This Hab plant is a machine!

The plant I rescued before the freeze still has about 20 pods on it, all but one almost completely ripe. In another day or two, I'll finish trimming it, but the parts I already trimmed are - like yours - doing great. I could have peppers by April Fools Day.
BTW, bringing that plant in produced right at 100 peppers, most a decent size.

Yeah, sorry. I've gotta get on that!
There you go Omri.
Yeah, considering it was down to almost no foliage whatsoever a month and a half ago.
Indeed, as proud as a father who's son just won the little league big game! I have grand visions of this plant hitting a grand slam in the big leagues this summer in my garden!lol
of all the fancy shmancy chile plants, the good old orange hab is still a big favourite of mine
Hey Cheezy -- thats about how far back I cut my Piquin back too and I thought it wasnt enough but I figured what the hell and give it a go. I have lots of new growth buds and growth in just a partly sunny window. Hope to have them under flourescents soon --- that Hab is a beast....
Are going to try hydro this winter?

Lol, you remembered. No Hydro this winter. A new baby and an unexpected change of career froze the discretionary fund for now.
We will see. If just cutting back and overwintering goes well I probably won't do the hydro after all. I am a firm believer that anything that did well in a pot or a cup would have been two to three times bigger out in the garden.
