In this episode, I show three simple steps to overwintering peppers - both in the ground, (if you live in a mild climate), and in a container, (if you live in a climate that gets frost and snow). So easy to do, you can keep them going for years so you don't have to plant new seedlings every spring (unless your a pepper addict like me!)

Thanks for the video. I did all my peppers in 2-3 gallon pots this summer, so when it started to turn cooler and leaves started dropping, I picked 2 of them to overwinter. I chose a Jalapeno and a Purple Beauty Bell. They are about 4' tall and I have them in my bathroom under a skylight. The only thing I wasn't sure about was how and when to prune them and how drastically.

hello how r u? my name is mark i enjoy watching your videos , i live in a small town called long lane, in missouri. i'm trying to start my pepper seeds indoors, right i have a few seedlings that are around 1'' - 2'' tall with two sets of leaves, do you think they'll survive being grown totally indoors, the house temp is around 70 - 80 degrees all day,

Do it in a day doing a vid on that plus going well hello thank you.
Dear God they are so small I will do as you show, second person your is a better video. wow poor plants.........

Hello Cali, I just watched the video. I do have a question. What if my pepper plant is still producing fruit and it's starting to turn cold. Could I just cover the plant with heavy plastic?

Amazon only mentions jobes when I search trifecta plus 5-10-4...?

Does his work in a zone 8 area where we can get down to the 20s?

can this work for eggplant too? I seatbelted all mine up and took them to grandma's greenhouse. But I did NOT prune them down.

Hello Cali, i think is to soon for me to do all that ,but thank you for the tip..i live in Nevada and all my plants have stress time in summer,i still to have same production ..but for my garden is now the best time to get all the production and get me back all the care i did all these months, my garden is late bloomer..!! i just get it..i am new gardener but i know now what is the best time for my garden.thank you for be there i love your videos.

I would like to over-winter my pepper plants

Can I use shredded paper instead of dried leaves? I have plenty of shredded paper.

why keep a grow light on it if it goes,dormate? hate when people don't explain.

I'll definitely be trying this with my Reaper, especially if it doesn't give me fruit soon. I ordered it too late and it takes a long time to mature. Thanks for the tips, Kim!

Thank for the video kim can u do a video with Tomatoes to I have tried to keep them going

can you update us on how your overwintered peppers ended up?

they are a fruit lol

where can I get that fertilizer

I just transplanted some peppers in my garden. The temperature has been up to 80s. Last night they dropped to 45. My pepper plant is drooping a little. Any suggestions to get it to pep back up? Now they are saying it might get down to 35 this weekend and I have all my transplants in the ground and some in raised beds. This weather is crazy here in South Carolina.

I'd love try this during this Fall! Would you consider doing an update to show is the pepper plants as they are coming out of their dormant stage? Thank you for making this so easy to follow!

I wish I had found your video before I kicked my habanero plant out into the snow to die. lol Maybe my basil plant will come back, I did cut it back before the frost.

Could you also please do a video where you explain how to bring your pepper's out of hibernation and getting them ready for spring.Thank you
