Hi, I took my 4 large Chilli plants indoors in November (we have cold winters in the UK), planning to prune them down for overwintering when they withered and dropped leaves (that's what normally happens). But as of Jan 30th they've stayed healthy and keep producing flowers despite no feeding for around 2 months! It looks like they won't naturally die back so would it be too severe a shock for them if I pruned them back now, hoping they'll sprout back well in a few months and be strong enough to produce good fruit?
The main one I want to keep has long branches and not many small sprouts on the stem so wouldn't leave much when the ends of the branches are cut off. Also, they have pretty bad greenfly on, which I'm worried will hinder the few remaining leaves.
