About three months ago now I brought my pepper plant in from outside, and did a full soil change and foliage trim to remove pests. (Last year I got an extremely bad aphid infestation as a result of skipping this step) Within the first couple weeks it got these little leaves but they haven't grown since and some of the nodes higher up that got baby leaves have died since then. I'm worried the whole plant will die back, and I'm not sure why it's not growing. Does anyone know what I should do?
I don't water it much but the soil is always moist when I check and it gets about 10 hours of grow lamp light a day, though I just recently got a timer to make sure I'm consistent.

I did a complete teardown of my reaper two years ago for over wintering. I mean, to look at you’d think I butchered it. No foliage, just an absolute husk of itself. Kept it by the window with the most sun and gave it some grow lights in the darkest part of winter. But only for a few hours a day, when I got new growth I cut that back as well. Then around mid February I started to let it grow. I fed it the smallest amount of nutrients during this time. It worked for me…. moved it out into the wild again mid April. I guess im saying dont be afraid of a stagnant overwintered plant. As long as its getting light and has some warmth I should hope it’ll bounce back.
