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?

    BOLIVIAN MINI CHILI - C. Anumm Plants are exceptionally decorative, with a height of 20 cm with pots and lots of big fruits. The fruits are sweet and excellent for filling with cheese, salads, fresh use or cooking.

      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’m not sure, but lots of peppers change color the longer they are left on the vine.
