Default Hot Pepper Plants

David-

Some sweet peppers will produce fruit indoors, if you give them full direct
sunlight for at least a few hours a day. There are several species of
pepper that will form intumescence (leaf tumors) if they don't get enough
direct sun (it is actually UV-B that prevents this), and this will
definitely hamper production.

As far as pollination, peppers are self-pollinators, so no need to worry
about buddy plants or manual pollination.

I am trying to grow a variety hot pepper plants indoors. Do these
types of plants typically produce fruit inside? Do they
self-pollenate? Will I have to pollenate them? How is that done?
