    Some sort of pepper, *Capsicum spp.*

    Looks like a struggling Fresno chili pepper.

    A pepper that shouldn’t be fruiting cuz it’s way too small. Pick those peppers (theyre ripe anyhow) and then if it keeps putting forth flowers nip them off until the plant is much, much more established and leafy. You might want to also transplant into a larger vessel and give it some nitrogen fertilizer to encourage leafy growth.

    It is a very sad pepper plant. Those 2 peppers will be all you will ever get out of that one

    It’s called a “gift.” Google it.

    Looks like a pepper plant that has had all its leaves chewed off and is trying to regrow them. The peppers look ripe now so pull them and hope it revives.

    Looks like it could be an Apache Chilli. I had an Apache plant that was small indoors (not as small as that one, i’m surprised it’s given any chilli’s) and it produced the same shape and size chilli’s.

    They are super hot, so don’t under estimate them.

  13. They look like red chili peppers, don’t they?

  14. A cry for help? No judgment, the only thing I can grow are weeds!

    Those look like toothpicks. If so and the peppers and plant is that small (desk top) I’m leaning towards Macho. I have one on my kitchen table alive and well, need a little extra spice, pick a fresh pepper. Think habanero in heat.

    As for the plant health it’s self. Not too good. Pick the peppers, the plant is putting nutrients into already ripe fruit. There are new leaves coming in, that’s a good sign. Soil looks loose enough but too wet. Keep moist not wet, all depends on where you put it let dry out, then fertilize and soak through until water flows out the bottom, and if you don’t have drainage holes, PUT SOME! For now it needs to be next to a morning window or somewhere close enough, give it as much light as possible, even if you have to move it around and chase the sun.
