Ok, I ordered this so called Bhut Jolokia from ebay.....I know, I know, but this was about 2 weeks before I found and joined this awesome resource of a forum. It came in and was a nice looking plant, lots of leaves and even some flowers already. I left it in it's little square pot for 3 days or so and left it in a sunny window that whole time. I re-potted it and started moving it outside for a couple hours every evening. I did this for about a week. During this time, all the leaves started to fall off and some of them had holes in them, I assumed it was some sort of pest eating the leaves so I sprayed it with some anti-pest spray for vegetables (cannot remember the brand for the life of me). Well at one point it was just the stem and maybe two leaves but I refused to give up on it, so now after about a month, I think its starting to bounce back, its still got the leaves on the top of the plant and its starting to get baby leaves all up and down the stem. First question is, What did I do wrong? Second one is: Is it coming back and is there any hope for the little guy?
Here is what the top looks like:
And here is what the stem looks like now:
A tad bit blurry but I tried:
