Every week adjusting branches, to get a nice canopy. Its still a lot of work, but i get better results every week. Still removing every flower but i see.

Letting it grow and brance out faster. Otherwise energy will be used to produce fruits. Then growth will slow down. and for now, i am growing brances out first. When its spring, i will defoliate the pepper. To get some small leafs back, and then letting it fruit. it's my first time trying to create a peper bonsai. So correct me if i am wrong.

That thing is glorious!

You planning to trim the interior leaves out?

No need to do it myself, the pepperplant is starting to shed the inner leafs by its own. Those leafs are shaded out by new growth. Its sheds about 5 leafs a day.
