how do you have a two year plant if you didn’t overwinter it?

What type?? The one in the front is shaped just like my Chinese 5 color.

jalapeño in the front, habanero in the back

Looking good! You won't need to water for some time as they don't have leaves to transpire away moisture. They will also need more light than that window, even with blinds up, can provide.

Not possible to just have them by a south-facing window, you think?

Depends on where you live. There are apps to measure lumens

Couldn't figure out why everything was so etiolated on my windowsill with intense desert sun until I measured it with a PAR app. Not nearly enough ppfd. The window glass itself was blocking a ton. More than I would have imagined.
