Indoor pepper Plants - Winter Care
I have 5 pepper plants that I inherited and they have now all stopped producing peppers
The leaves are slightly folded over and not that healthy looking
I must of had about 8 of all 5 so not very good
? Is it worth keeping them over the winter and if so what do I do to prepare them for next spring
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.

They are so easy to grow from seed NB I dont think its worth the space to over winter. Some do, I dont.
I just buy a pepper of my choice from the supermarket or wherever you shop, take the seeds out and plant straight away in a pot, about 3 to each. They need warmth to start, I have never had a propagator or heat pad, kitchen windowsill is fine.
I do find they germinate better from fresh seed, so I dont save now.
On balance, not worth the effort, NewBoy. They would need serious light and warmth just to maintain them with no real guarantee of decent results. Better to start again next year via either seeds or seedlings.
Thanks both....my conservatory faces East and although warm in Spring and Summer only gets full light from about 10.00 am till 4.00pm
