Thank you. I'm thinking about ordering seeds online.

Thankfully there isn't anything that would eat it tbh. I was just curious.

Do you think it is Bolivian Mini Chili? I think it is possible but maybe not the bolivian rainbow kind. But it could be that it's not fully ripe yet. Thank you for your anwser.

I see. Thank you for your anwser. I will take care of it but not for the purpose of being edible.

Thank you. Is there any way to correctly identify it? I have found out Capsicum annum refers to chili too but there are also variant of tomato that looks like chili but is toxic to humans. I thought there was a possibility that it is incorrectly labeled but even the pot says it isn't edible. Maybe I need a book on this one because the wikipedia and google didn't help me much with it.

I got this plant from my mother because I'm interested in chili planting. She choose this from a supermarket (Tesco) because it had a chili symbol on it. It says Capsicum aanum sombrero which from the symbol said to be not edible and might not even be chili. From a google search the name Capsicum aanum I found that it refers to a non edible indoor pepper type which is basically for decoration (more like not edible) but also found some sources saying that it's edible but with the symbol on it I don't want to risk it. I have also found a website contributing it to be a chili type because of the Sombrero name (so fully Capsicum aanum Sombrero). I can't decide what kind of plant this is. Does anyone know? And how should I take care of it?
