Over wintering your Chilli plants

Contrary to popular belief Chile pepper plants are perennials and can grow for many years if over wintered successfully. Unfortunately over wintering your precious plants can prove to be a very fickle & frustrating affair.

However you can improve your chances of success by:

- Growing specific varieties that are more cold tolerant
- Artifically improving the climate in which they grow
- Correctly harvesting plants prior to over wintering
- Keeping pests and diseases at bay
- Controlling water regimes
