Oddbean new post about login | logout Your pepper plants won't take a freeze. If you have any that you want to over winter do it now. Trim all the limbs back to their Y and trim off all the leaves. Put it in a pot near a window and give it minimal water. It will go dormant but will wake up in the spring. Will give you new peppers really early next season.
Do you have a preferred website that explains this with pictures?
Not that I know of. I posted pictures of my plants here but that was last year. I'll see if I can dig up the pictures. Can't remember if I saved those to my server or not. Cut off all the leaves. Follow the limbs back to where they junction into a Y. Trim both limbs above the junction of that forming a Y. Do the entire plant like this. You will end up with a pitiful spinnly stick. It will do absolutely nothing all winter and you will wonder if it is dead. It will rebud in the spring. Fertilize it when it starts budding new leaves.
Thank you so much @GHOST!! There’s so much to learn.
I know, it's fun isn't it? 🤗
I had no idea what I was missing out on until this year!! The whole process is amazing. I even enjoyed weeding. It was relaxing and therapeutic.
