  • The freeze a couple of weeks ago might have gotten my overwintering Pepper Plants, but I'm not sure. I need your help to determine... did I lose them all? I hope not, but need you to take a look if you're familiar with overwintering perennial plants.

    First year I dug up and cut back. Put mine in greenhouse. When we got the cold snap it was heated and got down to 32. Mine are still doing well except 2 that were near the plastic and would be closest to outside. Keeping them watered and will see if they come back.

    A few years ago I had some that looked like yours. I left them and kept occasionally watering them. By April (Zone 9A) at least 50% had either resprouted from the roots or put on new stem sprouts. Don’t toss them until late spring or early summer. They may surprise you.

    im down in austin, and mine went in the garage and were fine, we got down to 25 outside, some of my peppers are 4-5 years old. Unfortunately most of your brown ones are probably goners, I usually give them a deep soak in their pots with water before we get cold weather. The water actually helps insulate them (obviously for ones in the garage). This was the mildest winter we've had down here in quite a while besides the one dip.

    Three years ago I watched some youtube channel about overwintering peppers. I usually have a bit of difficulty with peppers because we don't get much hot weather, so I don't get much setting until late August or September. Then it gets cool again and they don't do great. So I thought, great I'll get them going early!
    For me, it was a total waste of time. They overwintered fine, but they didn't do any better than the six pack I bought that year. BTW, mine looked like the one you have in the one gallon can.

    The potted tabasco should definitely comeback, the rest highly unlikely they will survive, but I always give the brown ones a chance to comeback though I've never had one actually succeed in coming back from the root ball when they are that brown and brittle.

    Here in Texas tabasco peppers pop up all over my yard each year. I just let them live their whole life cycle in the garden and the seeds fall and new plants grow in the spring. I just move the new plants to where I want in the garden....Unfortunately, my other peppers have not done this reseeding on their own.

    They really can't handle freezes. They are a hot weather plant. The ones that still have some green on them probably survived. You can check the others by using pruning shears to see if you still have some green in there. Also later you'll be able to see if your roots are still alive. Hopefully everything is good to go. And for sure next time bring them inside.

    I would cut back. Keep cutting if you don’t see green. Then wait a couple of weeks. Time will tell.

      I second this comment. 👌🏾 Green is good even if it's the lower half of the plant. Warm Temps will wake up what survived. I leave my peppers out every yr. Whoever comes back comes back. 80% usually (if the plant was healthy) comes back after looking like death itself. Give it time. That brown is normal on the top. Roots are alive you are good. You'll see leaves popping from the very bottom mid March when it's warmer. Patience ❤

    I tried this years ago in Earthboxes. Pruned mine back so there was the main stem with 1 - 2 splits branching outward. One plant that I left longer did not make it, and anything with skinny sticks did not either. The room was 50-60°F, and either you can place them near a sunny window with at least 4 hours sunlight, or under a grow light for 6-8 hours a day. If any leaves grow, snip or pinch them off, there is nothing much for plants to feed on. Closer to Spring you can begin to let the leaves grow. Water every other week. 3-4 of mine died, more lived than died (I cannot remember the exact amount), and some I was not sure until Springtime came around.
    Do you have a frost cloth you can put over them, or stick tomato cages in the Earthboxes, and drape the frost cover over top of that, something to keep them warm?
    If they are hollow they more than likely won't grow, BUT they might not be dead the entire way back, so prune off a little but leave enough to make it worth your while, if you prune them too short you might as well start with a hearty new plant.
    I have to say that when I planted the "overwintered peppers" beside my fresh new pepper plants that I had started, they all ended up being the same height by mid season. I might have gotten a few more peppers from the overwintered, but not many. I think it is a fun experiment, and some people swear by it and have 6' tall pepper plants, that was not my case, but I had a heavier clay soil back then.
    You've come this far, I would keep on taking care of them, it's not that long until Spring. Keep them warm at 50-60°F and give them light. Just make sure you introduce them to being outside very slowly when the temps hit mid 60s, and definitely bring them in at night for the first week. Peppergeek has some great advice on his website about doing this, and videos on youtube also. I think it's cool that you are doing this, it's fun to try something new, and what doesn't work this year might work great next! Helps to break up the Winter a bit doing something like this.

    I don’t know if it matters, but I cut mine a bit shorter. I prune a little harder. I don’t know about allowing them to go dormant because I cut mine down to 10-12” tall, put them under my grow lights, and pour about a coffee pot of water into each pot( not earth box ) every two days. I have mine in a shop that doesn’t drop below 40 degrees. I think most likely the cold got yours. They’re dead as a doornail. Atleast it looks that way from here. I’d move on to the next project and try again next year 😉

    Sooooo, What kind of Pepper seeds will you be planting this year? Not that I have any experience in keeping Pepper plants alive thru the winter into the next spring, but those look dead to me. Except for the ones with green on em.
    I've got several I'm planting this year and I hope they do as good as last years harvest. It'll really surprise me if it does. But I have a lot of Jalapeno Pepper Jelly being asked for and I'm thinking Habanero Pepper Jelly as well. Looking forward to this years garden because I'm going to only plant what the house mainly uses and likes, so it'll be easier to care for than 10-15 different kinds of vegetables. Plus, I'm in the process of making one of your Cattle panel greenhouses. I'm a short fella, so I stuck with an 8' x 8' square.
