My dad got a plant from my sister’s boyfriend’s dad almost a year ago and it was doing great until maybe a month ago now?
It’s mother of all peppers plant and I’ve been taking care of it while my dad is away on work. He’s a truck driver so he leaves up to three times every month for a week or so. We’ve been growing it inside and it was absolutely beautiful. We have a window where it gets bright, bright light for hours and I watered whenever it felt dry.
For whatever reason, it just.. stopped looking as good.
The leaves were full and raised up but now they’re droopy and shriveled. They’re very soft too.
I repotted the plant not too long ago since my dad thought maybe the small pot was stunting its growth but it did nothing. It still looks so sad and I’m not sure why. We didn’t do anything differently and blooms (not fruits) are still coming but it just doesn’t look happy.
The first two pictures are when it was full and the rest are now. So sorry for the awful quality, it’s nighttime here and my camera did not want to focus.
I’m thinking maybe it wants to be outside but it’s getting cold now so… I don’t know.

Start hardening it off to be outside
Give it some fertilizer
It needs more sun
Also, it looks like you may have broad mites as well
Stupid question but you are watering it aren’t you? It looks dry and the leaves wilting with lack of vigor would fit with a lack of water
If you grow this indoors. Pests are going to be a huge problem. This is an outdoor plant, not an indoor plant.
Why is it inside?
