Peppers growing well. One of them is growing weird leaves, posssibly nightshade that got packaged with the other seeds by accident?

I got my seeds from White Hot Peppers this year as semillas were unavailable at the time (I order from Europe), the seeds germinated very well and produced good plants so far but one has thin branches and spiked leaves. Some nightshade variants can get similar appearances, I’m wondering if a seed got mixed up, or even if this is a rare pepper mutation as peppers are in the nightshade family. I’ll grow the plant and see what happens.

Looks more like a maple or sycamore seedling to me. Could have been in your compost. I don’t think it’s nightshade.

Looks like a maple tree. I get a lot of those from the little helicopters that drop and they very easily get into the soil. So if the soil or pots were outside for any time at all, that’s it. And if not, it’s possible they were in the soil.
Regardless of what it is, it’s not a pepper. But maybe plant it outside and find out in a few years!
