  • First time trying to overwinter some of the chillis, feels very wrong cutting these back and downsizing the pots. Hopefully they'll do OK under a table in the flat with a few hours of light a day. If anyone would do this differently, let me know, still have about 8 plants outside.

    ..or to put it another way: when you keep them in a warm room you should also be giving them lots of light (like, artificial light on top of the bit of sun they get).
    Or put them somewhere cold-ish (so they go in a hibernation mode) with less light.

    Your pruning looks totally fine to me, could cut off even more if you wanted.

    1 month later. I've added an ikea plant bulb hooked up to a timer for a daily dose of sun.

    They are going rather well - infact 1 is trying to grow flowers - how would people deal with this? Simply cut back new branches until spring?
