chilli's will need a warm place at all times, rather than direct sunlight or frosted poly tunnel. if you have a green house then leave it in there.

guess practice makes perfect and you learn something everytime.  :)

I have over wintered a chilli plant in the house each year for a long time.
Either in the kitchen window, or our rather sunny dining room. They have even coped with the heating failing- think it coped better than I did!
Come spring I tend to give them a haircut, and add some fresh compost.
Most years they have even carried on fruiting too.
Just dont sit it on top of the radiator (whoops- add water!- this occurred when a previously dead radiator decided to start working again!)
Very often quite lost- would be more lost if I could work out where I was!- But always find my way home.....

What do you gain from over wintereing the chilli plant?
