Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Yes too much dead moist air will make the plants moldy and die.
I sealed the cuts with white elmers glue today. I heard it works well (and cheap). If they die, they die. I don't expect many to make it over thw winter, but you never know.

wow i didnt think you could chop them back like that; i assume they would need some leaves to me left on them; maybe next year wintering wont be som horrible; keep one or two and make them produce over the winter (grow lights and a small paint brush) hack the rest back and stuff them on shelves water and light on a regular basis...maybe ill give this a whirl instead of trying to find place for all my big plants all the time...
Last year I cut one of my plants back that I had in the garden really close. Then I waited for about ten days before I dugg it up. I placed it in a pot and brought it in the house next to the East window and watered him/her once about every tens days or when the soil was dry. And it made it all thru the winter with new growth and then I made a mistake by putting it out side before it was warm enough and lost it to the wind and the cold. But this year I have a cellar (or scarey hole as some people calls them) which stays warm all winter and I going to place some in there for it doesn't get wet and has good air cir and see what happens. I have my Cummaria Ou Passarhino that I want to keep the winter and a few others But yes it can be done.
