What do we think? Prune the worst bits off? Leave it be? Prune them hard and hope for the best?
Yea I'd definitely prune stuff that's dry already or that looks like it's not going to make it.
Hard to tell from the picture what's exactly going on but might have been a bit cold for them
(chilies don't like temperatures below 5°C, some can't even handle 10°C).
If possible pull them out of the pot and see if they're dry or actually still moist (don't overwater, they don't need a lot with the cold temps).
Ideally put them in a place that's still bright but a bit warmer, maybe you have a staircase with windows?Good luck!

Hoping these chilli plants make it through until the spring warmth arrives. They've been kept in an unheated porch all winter and are looking pretty sad in places. I'm really way of overwatering them but they get so sad looking if I don't give them a drink every few weeks.
Some of the branches are looking pretty brown and crusty and some of the fruit are turning black.

I'm about to start off some seeds just in case they don't make it.
I've started bringing them in at night to avoid the lower temperatures.
