Cultural information: Ornamental Pepper plants are grown for their decorative fruits which should not be eaten. 

Flowering Ornamental Peppers are generally available only in the fall. They are purchased as a decorative disposable indoor flowering house plant.

Place your flowering Ornamental Pepper where it will receive one half day of bright filtered sunshine in the house or office. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Misting can be beneficial but is not required. When your Ornamental Pepper plant becomes unattractive... discard it and purchase a new indoor flowering house plant for the holidays.
