First time trying to overwinter Discussion

Post image

First time trying to overwinter any kind of plant whatsoever, but I liked the peppers from my Scorpion Trinidad plant so much that I had to at least try, really hopes it survives and I hope I didn't bring in any unwanted visitors. I went with the following method : 1. Clipped the branches 2. Removed from orignal pot outside and tried to get rid of as much dirt as possible 3. Rinsed the roots/plants and cleaned it at least three times with insecticidal soap 4. Put in a brand new container with dirt for inside plants from a freshly sealed bag.

I would think that would be good...I have a 3 year old Trinidad scorpion I have done this too each winter and never had an issue
