How about Habaneros?
According to this article on growing indoor chiles, Habaneros would be a good bet. How hot do you want to get? They also say:
"Some chile varieties that grow well indoors and in containers are piqu'ns, chiltepins, habaneros, and Thai peppers (see "Encyclopedia of Chiles"). These small plants have a long growing season. They fruit and flower for a longer period than short-season chiles, so you will have a greater chance of harvesting fruits from them. The small chiles grow to 6 to 12 inches in height with an equal diameter. Since the peppers stand out prominently above the foliage, these plants make colorful and decorative houseplants. These chiles can be very pungent." |

There are five plants, and they all thrived and are laden with fruiting bodies. I tasted one and indeed it is very "hot". Where this pepper rates on the Scoville Scale is not known. Pure Capsaicin (the compound that causes the "heat") measures 16,000,000 Scoville units, and the hottest pepper recorded was 577,000 Scoville Units. This plant grows well indoors, and is compact, and a prolific producer. Durgan's Garden Journal 2007 |

It didn't look as good as I wanted, but I think that was due to the transplant shock because I had to keep garden soil on it as well as leave part of the large root system in the ground. I planted it in the garden this last spring, and it is about 30"+tall with lots of blossoms and little shiny peppers that shine in the sun. I'm going to try to move it in again, but I plan to do that earlier this time--maybe in a week or so--and then set it out again next spring. I saved seed from it last year, and now I have many seedlings of varying sizes. I recently potted up a 12" ornamental pepper from the garden that I had grown from seed from the parent plant and it is happy in a pot. I will bring it indoors when the nights get cooler again.

We have a variety here in our country called "labuyo" - similar to the mexican variety that can be grown indoors with less maintenance. Labuyo is what we use as a replacement for using "Tabasco" so it is very, very hot!

I accept with information: They fruit and flower for a longer period than short-season chiles, so you will have a greater chance of harvesting fruits from them. The small chiles grow to 6 to 12 inches in height with an equal diameter.
