Problems growing chili plant?

I have a chili plant which I grew from a seed, and I'm completely new to gardenging/plant care.





It grew pretty tall (about 18 inches) but has been constantly losing leaves to the degree that it's almost totally bare - just like a green twig with new leaves on the ends of the stems.





What do I have to do to save it? I started it outside, in the shade and water it regularly. I have added new soil and fertilizer (it's in a pot).





I live in Singapore where it's very hot, and I'm on the 17th floor where it's windy and I thought the wind was blowing the leaves off, so I moved it inside and it is still losing leaves. What do I have to do? Put it in the super hot sun? Thanks.

It's probably the drop in humidity (you have air-conditioner?) and maybe the changes in light, day/night temperature drop (not enough inddors).





I think peppers are Bi-annual (live 2 seasons?) so age might be a factor, too.





Also, I think you need a sandy, well-drained soil and a lot of light. Wind can be really bad as it dries out a plants moisture, fast.





Check with your local nurseryman or grower.
Reply:Easy. It's not getting enough sunlight. If it's not too late, move it into full sun.
Reply:A "chili" plant, right.
Reply:my pepper plants in pots suffer from dryness, and lose their leaves. don't fertilize again for a while. water regularly and get it used to the super hot sun (might take a week or more), but water!
Reply:Your 'chili' plant needs more light. Full sun plants that are shaded get 'leggy'. Move it into the sun and cut it back. It will bush out and do well. Keep it watered, they don't like getting dry.
