  1. What if my jalapeño pepper plant doesn’t have any leaves left on it but all the branches are green and healthy? And trimmed down like you said. Will my plant survive without leaves? And will it be ready to produce this coming spring/summer? Any help would be appreciated, I live in Washington if that helps your answers out

  2. I have a single 5 year old Jalapeno tree. It never produces fruit over the winter obviously but every year around march it starts producing new leafs and it goes from there. Love that plant!

  3. If peppers are already in pots, should I repot in soilless mix before bringing indoors? I live in zone 6b so no chance of leaving them outside over the winter. If so, should I still prune them back? Love this video and hope to bring in several plants this year. I will be using grow lights over winter so after the first week is it 10 – 12 hours per day and how close to the plant should the lights be.

  4. Thanks for the info & talking about the light & water they need. I haven't seen that in other videos that I have watched. Found your video & information very useful.

  5. We watched this video when it debuted four years ago and instantly decided to try this with our Cubanelle and Banana Peppers, plus two Peruvian hot pepper plants that were gifted to us by a Peruvian friend. We had a lot of grow lights that we used in Spring, so we decided to bring the plants inside and keep heat and grow lights on them for 16-18 hours a day. Surprise, Surprise! We had new peppers all winter. Three of the original 9 plants brought in that year are still alive after 5 seasons. The Peruvian peppers lasted 3 years.

    We converted our sun room in our house into a mini-greenhouse. We keep it at 76 degrees with a humidifier and with full spectrum LED Grow Lights. It is also a great therapy room for dark and dreary winter days.

  6. I brought my jalapeños in and have them re-potted and pruned down the way you showed in the video.
    I have a grow light set up in my basement, how long should I limit their light to 4-5 hours? Until I put them back out in the spring? Or should I increase it at some point?

  7. Have saved a good 30 pepper plants from last year to grow on in 2022. Should have a much better start than last year when I lost pretty much all of them in the greenhouse. I didn't bring them in as they had bugs/thrips on them, only one survived an orange bell plant. Great tips 🙂
