Habanero peppers ..again
 

Last year I asked for advice on habanero peppers and they were a great
success, in fact they have survived the winter on my window sill and are
still producing small pea size peppers. My question is are habanero peppers
biennial? If I give them a good feed will they produce another crop this
year? I still have seeds left so intend to plant a new lot, but is it worth
keeping the 'old' ones?

Don't know, but I had no luck with bringing plants in for the fall.
The white bugs got control, and I could not debug them.

I live in a flat so no garden, they were born from seed and still live on a
south facing window sill. No bugs, I gave them liquid tomato feeding through
the summer.

In tropical regions, habaneros are perennials.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

Thanks, the Netherlands is not exactly tropical, I think I will keep the
best one and plant again from seed 3 new pots.

Technically they are perennials but in any climate that does not have a
warm/mild winter they are usually grown as annuals. You may find it easier
to collect seeds in autumn and sow again in spring than baby them over
winter. YMMV

Graham, as a general rule, if you can recreate their optimal
environment, certain of the tropical pepper plants will easily
continue to grow year'round. But new seed sometimes gives better
options if you can't capture the right stage growth conditions to
recycle the plant back to a veg growth state.
From your pics you have a good window light setup, do you use
supplemental lighting when you encounter North Sea low light
conditions? also it appears you have good bottom heat( soil)...
keep that to "cosy" for you and the plant should be fine but do just
watch the RH, saucer pans of H2O nearby do well . Capsicum chinense
like a bit more humidity than you would find in a Northern European
winter room and a decent heat to finish in their grand fashion. But a
tea kettle/pot on a radiator can work well and a good bit of long day
lighting. Do look at the Rocoto ( black seed) peppers for your
climate, also there is a Manazano ( a black seed also) developed in
the mountains of NM that may be a good candidate for you to develop to
your environment but there are also many other varietals in the below
links. You do appear to have a good following of Pepper Heads in the
Northland... Interesting, but not so surprising.

Good luck and let us see the final!

Thanks for all your info, I have a full packet of seeds left from last year,
and about 40 peppers in the deep freeze. So I am going to keep the best one
alive, and grow 3 new pots. One thing I learned from last year, one seed one
pot, last year I started with 2 in a pot and none were in the middle. I
think I am the only person around here growing habaneros and eating them, I
like hot peppers and a guy from Ariona said try habaneros. I received 3
requests about making pepper pastes last year, isn't this a nice group. How
could I not hit the net to find Rocoto ( black seed) peppers? Pictures will
follow.

In central Texas, I had a couple of habaneros that lasted four years in a
pot. I'd bring them in in the winter & take them outside in the warmer
months. At the 4th year, they looked pretty ragged, so I stuck them into
the ground, where they perked right up, but I didn't re-pot them again. I
guess the potting soil was just spent. They did continue to produce
peppers, but the fruit was smaller every year.
