4 year old Carolina Reaper

For 4 years I’ve been repotting, feeding and bringing this Carolina reaper into my house every winter. My mom bought it for me 4 years ago as a gift and I’ve kept it alive ever since. I live in north Idaho and with our short growing season, growing peppers has always been a pain. This was my little experiment to see if maybe bringing it inside and treating it as a houseplant for the winter wouldn’t help with the grow times. In conclusion yes it does, it quite likes to be grown as a houseplant. I’ve had it fruit in December last year, didn’t produce big fruit but still did. These are some photos of my plant on the first day I put it back outside this year. It needs repotted soon and is more of a shrub this year.
