Ornamental Peppers
Perhaps the ultimate Christmas houseplant, ornamental peppers (Capsicum annuum) have dark green, waxy leaves with little flowering peppers that look like Christmas-tree lights. The peppers usually start out green then change from to white to purple to orange to red, and often all of the colors are present on a single plant. The more light the plants receive, the more colorful they become. Just beware: Though the peppers are edible, they’re very hot, so keep pets and kids from eating them.
