Tiny habeneros

[rkempston]

Overwintered my habs and they've been growing tiny pods ever since I brought them in. Its hilarious

My Caribbean Reds did this at the end of the season this year. I still have some peppers on my plants outside that are the size of a dime for the largest ones.

Yep. Welcome to winter peppers. They'll be normal come March or April.

Winter  pods.... simple. Seedless. Still spicy!

 

[cruzzfish]

Still spicy!

Only if they aren't from the very dead of winter. January-February=no spicy. November-December and March-April=Yes.

Must be an habanero thing.

Cute little things.  I'm not sure I'd ever mention it if I had tiny habeneros

I have a Jamaican Hot chocolate doing the same thing, will try and post some pics later.

My peter peppers are big enough that i dont worry too much about it.

I have the same thing happening. My hab has about 20 pods the size of a dime on it. I am going to harvest them tonight and then give it a haircut and rootcut for overwintering.

Below is a size comparison showing how tiny some of my late season Caribbean Red Peppers are. Top row is choc habs, second row are my small Brazilian starfish, third row are my black fatalii, forth row the miniature Caribbean Reds, bottom row are my Goats Weed. I picked these today.

There is no fight in mini winter habs.

Is this what I can look forward to from growing entirely indoors, when I finally do get pods?
