Last winter, I overwintered a pepper from the Philippines in the living-room on a windowsill - without any artificial lights. I had started the seeds end of February after my holidays, so it wasn't overly large when I put the plant indoors (I grow everything in containers). It lost some leaves probably due to the hot air coming from the heater under the windowsill, but survived and even started to produce blossoms before I could put it in the garden again. I also had a few ripe peppers, very welcome because I like hot dishes. When it was in the garden again, it really exploded and was my best pepper producer this season. I'll try to overwinter it again although now, the plant is much larger. But I think it "deserves" another year...
For those of you who like to know which variety it is: High Fly Pepper F8. I've sent seeds for it to the MMMM.
