Part 2: Un-Overwintering Pepper Plants
►► https://youtu.be/_xKqnl4kRA8

Pepper plants are perennial by nature, meaning they can live for several years if the conditions are right. In climates with winters, outdoor chili plants can be brought indoors to keep them alive until next year's spring.

In this video, we'll share our method for overwintering peppers. The process isn't for everyone, but if you have a special plant that you'd like to keep alive for next year (instead of starting from seeds again), you can try it out. Also, with seeds going out of stock more than ever, keeping your plants makes a lot of sense!

Remember that pests are your #1 enemy! Replacing soil and being watchful for pests is critical to avoiding and indoor infestation.
