This is my first real attempt at overwintering some peppers from this summer. I have 4 plants that i did all good things to such as trimming the roots and branches to matching mass, potted down with fresh potting soil, sprayed for mites ect.
They are all in a south facing window in my living room which varies right now in temp from id say 62-67.
Im not concerned about light at all but am second guessing my watering.
I know i need to keep it to a minimum and have been trying to water about 16 ounces every month in the 8 inch pots. At least that was my goal as of a few weeks ago as they start to wilt. They perk right back but im concerned about root and stem rot.
So now 2 are slightly wilted after 2 weeks post h2o.
Im thinking due to the heat and light they are less than dormant and now think they need 8-16 ounces every 2 weeks.
Thoughts on over/under watering?
Thanks yall!
