If you provide them with the heat and especially light at this time of year, I see no reason why they won't produce. But, if they are inside, you may want to put a fan on them or manually disturb the branches after they start blooming. Without any wind and very limited insect activity, the pollination rate will go way down unless you help it a long.

They look fine, Johnny.

I am over wintering 3 plants. But I root pruned and top pruned drastically, as I just want them to survive. One is a Red Hab. I pruned it to to the point of NO foliage, because the lower part had no foliage. Surprisingly it is growing new shoots. The other two are ornamental , Sangria and NuMex Twilight. These have foliage but keep shedding leaves. That is what happened with one last year until it adjusted and resumed growth.

To me it is just a garden nostalgia, trying to keep a continuation from season to season.

Good call Bruce. I have a fan in there to blow while lights are on. At night, no light/fan just heat lamp. I can keep the temps at 60-90 based on lighting, fan, a/ mist system. I feel pretty good about their chances.

A finger also works for pollinating, just be careful you don't accidentally cross-pollinate two different peppers with the same finger! What kinds of peppers are those?

"These have foliage but keep shedding leaves."

That's you plant shedding, and putting on it's "Winter Coat". During the Summer, you're pepper plant's biggest problem is not lack of sunlight, but absorbing too much sunlight and overheating. The leaves are thus optimized for that environment.

But when you bring it indoors for the Winter, the situation is reversed - overheating is no longer a problem, reduced sunlight is! So the plant grows leaves more suitable to it's new environment - thinner, larger, darker green (more chlorophyll), designed to better capture and utilize the available light. As it's growing new leaves, it's also shedding old ones, which is what you are seeing.

This is normal, and just your plant adjusting to it's new environment.

This is true Dave. I'll have to keep that routine up going fwd. I trimmed everything up yesterday to only keep the "indoor" leaves going. This week is looking good, weather-wise, (~70 a/ ~50) so I'll let them enjoy outdoor light before they go back into my grow hut under indoor light.

Plant wise - 2Carolina Reapers, 1Butch T, fourth plant is still mystery. Seeds were labeled, "chocolate handgrenade"; however, I cannot find anything called that. I did couple hours research Sat a/ came to conclusion that is poss. a Peruvian Yanca. Love to have your input. Ref. this thread

"Seeds were labeled, "chocolate handgrenade"; however, I cannot find anything called that."

I actually came across that one while I was researching pepper varieties for the Holiday Swap, let me see if I can find that again for ya...

"Weird pepper wise, ck into my trade list a/ see if you have anything, not listed"

Oh, I'd say that's a DEFINITE!...heck, that probably even includes some of the varieties I just sent you for the swap that are sitting in your P.O. Box today! LOL

I was unable to find that pic again, but I did some research last night on that weird pepper of yours, and was able to dig-up some other pics and a lot of info about it! :) Will try to put it all together in an organized fashion, and then post it in that other thread you mentioned.

Still going strong outdoors here. We had that polar vortex a couple weeks ago that dropped the temps down to 25 for a couple nights. Fortunately the plants were snuggled under their planket.

When I uncovered them a couple days later the wind blew most of the leaves off so now they look like Charlie Brown Christmas trees. But they're still ripening! Just picked a big bowl of pods, so off to the smoker they'll go.
