About 1 year old. I’ve left it in pot and just watched it. The rest of the seeds were grown last year and didn’t survive the winter. I did overwinter and put frost cloth over them but clearly it didn’t work.

Maybe too big a pot. I water every so often and just have it fertilizer.

    Jalapenos and chills and capsicums are all perennials. Or my impression was that they were.

    Yeah we did that but I’m aware they can live for years and would be my aim to keep them going for several years. We got a bumper crop of hundreds of jalapenos. They unfortunately didn’t survive the winter. Was hoping to cut down on replanting and such. The indoor one was more an experiment but it’s very weak but it just keeps chugging along

      Well shit fire and save matches. If you ask Google if they are an annual results say yes. If you ask if they are a perennial results say yes. TIL.

        Yeah most places I researched were saying your luck if 50% live.

        Sounds more like it’s not supposed to be done, but can. Most recommended restarting with seeds every year.

        Sounds like it’s an annual, but it can be stressed and messed with to make it last longer.

        Cannabis is an annual as well, but you can put it back in to a vegetive state again by changing the light cycle. It’s still an annual though and it’s not recommended unless you know what you’re doing….

        So bottom line, it’s an annual that can be abused like cannabis I guess.
