This plant is driving me crazy. I keep it on the kitchen table so it gets plenty of light, but not direct light. I water it thoroughly once a week with a few drops of plant food in the water. And the thing is still looking droopy and about to die. I am having this problem with all my plants. The red chilli plant, my pin coushin plant and my other plant (I don't know what it is called but it has small oval leaves that are dark green with white veins that is supposed to be a trailing plant. It has fuzzy branches.) All my plants get the same treatment. I water them all on Sunday, let them dryout through the week and water them again on Sunday. All with a few drops of plant food. Just normal in door liquid plant food in the water. They all get light, but it's just my kitchen light and no direct sunlight. I don't get sunlight into my house any where.

If this is a true pepper plant, it's not going to do well in a container inside on a table. Pepper plants don't usually last longer than one season, although in warmer climates they might winter over. They don't need a lot of water or food, so on your schedule the roots might be drowning in water at the bottom of the pot.
I would suggest buying a deep pot and repotting. Be careful not to lose the soil around the root ball. Keep the pot in the sunniest location you have. Put a plastic pot dish underneath the pot and water from the bottom only. Don't overwater, and don't feed more than four times a year.
Even then, it might not do too well. But, that should improve things a bit.

particular, it fairly is extremely available to maintain a chili alive for better than one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. I even have various that have been around for 3 years already. My Birds-eye is going into its 2d season and a few of my Datils have been producing for 2 years already. I had one Serrano that lived for 5 years earlier it died. I had various Bolivian Rainbow vegetation that lived 4 years or greater. I improve one in all those wild peppers that improve interior the orange groves of Florida (appropriate a technique or the different to cayenne, referred to as Mexican Jellybean) that have lived for various years. I lost the final of my unique vegetation the iciness of 2007/2008, yet I even have greater seeds so i will improve greater. My Manzano (a Mexican pepper with black seeds) lived 3 years and become never secure against the frost. It only saved coming back 3 hundred and sixty 5 days after 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. once I moved I had to flow away it as a results of fact it become too great to flow. It become almost six ft for the duration of and over 5 ft tall. that is going to be alive for all i be attentive to. reliable good fortune and enjoy!

I think they need more sunlight, try to take them out few days a week, when you water them try to do it with less water no matter you would do it frequently
