Ornamental Pepper: Festive Fruit for Indoor and Outdoor Displays

Ornamental Pepper plants produce colorful, upright fruit in shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple—like living holiday lights. Popular for fall containers, indoor displays, and gift plants.

Secrets of Success

• Light: High light indoors / full sun outdoors
• Water: Keep moist; ensure good drainage
• Fertilizer: Feed regularly with houseplant fertilizer
• Humidity: Mist in heated rooms; clean leaves; avoid drafts
• Temperature: Comfortable indoor temperatures

Fruit lasts for weeks. Pinch back early growth for bushier plants. Note: fruits are technically edible but extremely hot—keep away from children and pets. Discard plants after fruiting cycle ends.
