Beginner Gardening: grow lamp for indoor pepper plants, 1 by Ozark

Here are our warm-weather "deck plants", now living indoors for the winter - dwarf lemon tree, pot of rosemary, pot of hot peppers.

They get a little direct sunlight on sunny mornings like today, but not for long. You can kind of see through the windows that our house is shaded by big oak and hickory trees - we live in our own woods.

That pot of pepper plants has been going for years like this with no problems. I know from past winters that the current crop of peppers will dry up and be dropping next month. Then in January the plants will bloom, and we'll have a new bunch of hot peppers, indoors, in March. Those are real welcome as they have good flavor as well as being incredibly hot - I use them to put the "heat" in all kinds of dishes.

I've never found any need to provide extra light to indoor pepper plants, except when I'm raising seedlings in the spring, of course..
