Ornimental peppers will probably survive in a vivarium for awhile, but just straggle around, not bloom or produce peppers. They require full sun and are they are from from sections of Mexico and South America that are drier, not rain forests. They do better with lower humidity--more of a desert environment. They are a much better window plant in a pot than in an enclosed vivarium with limited light. They are also annuals, so last only one season or a bit more on a window sill. They have the same requirements as our garden peppers such as the bells and hot peppers. They are actually a more decorative off-shoot of the spicey hot "chile tepines."
