No no. They will NOT ripen off the plant like tomatoes.


Maybe I'm wrong about this - but I've certainly never seen a
pepper ripen off the vine. I've been growing them many
years, and buying them many years too, and it's never, ever
happened in my experience.

Nope, you're not wrong. If picked green that's how they're gonna stay
until the finally go soft and bad.

Like others here, I use 'em green but do leave some on hoping that they
ripen before a disease or some animal get 'em. Haven't had a whole lot
of luck with that though.
