I had a chili plant that survived everything. Lack of water, too much water (I am also terrible at gardening and have no idea what an appropriate amount of water is), heat, cold, it spent the winter inside by the window, it survived aphids…

But then it just died one day when I left it outside overnight. Like it was doing okay (the leaves were a bit droopy but nothing water couldn’t fix), and then I get it back the next day and it’s just dead. I think what happened is the farmer that’s right next to my place spread weed killer in his field and it must have made its way to my plant. But I seriously have no idea for sure.

Still very resilient plants and you can eat the fruits. They also make really nice bright purple flowers
