Overwintering Pepper Plants

recruiterg · September 12, 2011

I have a Peppadew plant in the ground in my garden. I am beginning to get a few ripe peppers from it and I really like them. It is a late producer for my climate and I am thinking of overwintering it in my house. My plan is to prune the foliage way back, prune the roots & shake off the dirt from the garden, plant in new potting mix. Does the plant need to be in a sunny spot in the house? Are there any other steps I should be taking? Do pepper plants attract insects in the house?
