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.

Peppers need lots of light, warmth and fertilizer. I mean 12-16 hours of bright grow light (~36w) or 8โ€“10 hours of direct sun plus weeklyish heavy fertilizer feedings. How much of each is it getting? Also: were those pistachios salted?

I put it outside most mornings and bring it back in after sun down so probably enough light. I didn't fertilize over winter but did last week and it looks like it's starting to grow a bit. They probably are salted a bit. I don't know if you can even get unsalted, I have looked. I just sprinkle them on everything. I might need to stop.

Thanks
