Overwintering peppers

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Hi guys,I live in Tel Aviv, which is roughly equivalent to zone 10 in the US. This year I grew an Anaheim pepper for the first time and got an amazing bounty despite only potting it in a 3 gallon plastic container. So I decided to prune it back and top dress for the winter in the hope it'll come back strong next year and give me another good crop.
I have the option of keeping it in its current container or potting up into a 5 gallon smart pot grow bag. My preference is to keep it in the current container if I can, since it's much more attractive and efficient on space, and I'm nervous about repotting a mature plant and having such a thirsty plant in a very porous container.
Based on the attached pics in the comments, am I at risk of it getting root bound if I don't repot? If so, when is the right time and do you guys have any tips for making the transition smoothly?
