Hot pepper plants are low-maintenance indoor plants that can add color to any room of your home. Pepper colors vary depending on the pepper plant. They come in a range of colors, from green to purple. Keep in mind that when you are growing smaller ornamental peppers, the flavor will be very hot, so cook with care.
Step 1
Transplant your red pepper plant into a fresh pot annually to ensure ample growing space for the roots.

Step 2
Place the plants in the most well lit room of your home to ensure ample sunlight.
Step 3
Circulate air throughout the room daily by either opening a window or turning on a fan set to low.
Step 4
Water your plant consistently and keep the soil moist. If the soil dries out, the peppers will split.
Step 5
Fertilize the pepper plant once a month with a water-soluble vegetable fertilizer and a light sprinkling of Epsom salt when the pepper plant blooms.
Step 6
Prune an indoor pepper plant back to a height of 3 to 6 inches every fall. This will trigger the plant's rejuvenation for spring.
