Pepper Plant just not growing

I wonder if anyone can offer some advice.
A month ago, I got a Pepper plant delivered via Thompson and Morgan. The plant was in the postal system for 9 days and arrived in a pretty dire state and rather limp. I've managed to nurse it back to some form of life, however, it's just not growing and now some of the leaves appear to be turning brown. It's clearly in some stress. I don't know if it's in the wrong position, too much water, too little water etc
Last year I grew one outside on my patio and it did well, this year, with my newly purchased greenhouse on hand, I thought I would give it a nice warm spot. Everything else in the greenhouse is bursting with life.

When it's too cold for them, they just stop growing, as yours has.
If it's a warm day, it'll be happy outside or in your greenhouse, but bring it in at night and keep away from chilly windows.
Once night temperatures are into double figures again it'll be fine outside in your greenhouse.
Don't let the compost get too wet.

Once you see the flower buds appearing start to feed with a tomato feed about every 10ish days.
They need lots of warmth and light to do well

I think I pot my peppers and chilies into 4 different pots until they get to the 10L pots for peppers and 2-5L for chililes
Fast growing plants - it's less important.

Thompson and Morgan has finally dispatched today another Pepper I ordered, so i'm going to apply the potting up slowly method and see how that one does.
