Me thinks you got a variety that grows fruits upright. The Plant seems normal.

Something seems to be different about the plant. Wrong? Nah, just turn the pepper right side up when you harvest it. FWIW, peppers actually grow pretty well when the whole plant is upside down. Not all plants do.

There's a number of peppers that grow upward; there's nothing wrong with it and no need to do anything special; just let it do its thing.

I have a 'Lemon Dream' pepper plant that I was initially worried was the wrong plant when I saw its pepper growing upward (fearing that I'd gotten a hot pepper instead of a sweet pepper, since I'd only ever seen hot peppers grow upward before), but on further investigation, that's just how 'Lemon Dream' grows ... your pepper is just another variety that grows upward.

The peppers may grow more sideways and down when the plant gets bigger. Depends on the variety. Those early peppers near the first primary branch out are often upside down, but future peppers grow "properly" when the plant gets bigger.

I just picked an upside down 'California Wonder' that was growing in the center branching that was the first pepper growing, a late addition to the garden. The flower started when it was in a small container at the nursery, but the pepper plant is growing normally now and future peppers will hang down more.

Thank you all! I was worried it could be root bound or something worse. Glad to know it is fine. It looks healthy

Christmas Pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) produce upside down peppers. You may Google for pics.

My bell pepper did this, this year. I just harvested 3 full grown peppers, so I'm chalking it up to the plant not being big enough to grow them downwards yet.

Not sure I understand what the big deal is here. Who says peppers should grow downward? Gravity is not necessary for pepper growth. If the stem that holds the pepper is strong enough, it can grow at any angle. Tomatoes grow downward because the stems holding them are flimsy, and as the tomato forms, the stem bends to hold the weight. Same with peas and beans. The difference with peppers is that the fruit can come straight out of a strong stem. Corn grows upwards, because that's the direction the fruit comes out on a stiff stem. If the corn stem were weaker, corn would assuredly grow downwards.
