My Habanero is growing upwards and towards the window. Is it normal?
Also, there are only 4 peppers – what am i doing wrong? I am begginer in growing plants, i got this as present when it was small.
Many thanks!

It’s stretching for light, I would suggest buying a light

Yeah needs more light. I’d suggest maybe replanting into a bigger pot too.

Definitely needs more sun and a bigger pot.

Bigger pot maybe a stick or pole for support and if you can manage set it where it can get direct sunlight for 6-8 hours a day or if not get a grow light and give it 10-12 hours of light to keep it fruiting. Looks great tho!

Yah bigger pot. I had one live for 5 years and fruited regularly for some reason. Died of a fungus or something. The pot was at least 10 gal, maybe 15. Stalk got to be about the diameter of a 50¢ piece. I’d often let them ripen on the plant then dehydrate extras. Did with some other varieties as well. Pretty low maintenance inside gardening and didn’t have to worry about the freaking deer eating them, yah those bastards will eat hot peppers like it’s nothing. Edit to add the glass was not low – E, just old school regular glass
