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 |
