i have plants i would like to move indoors for winter. i was told it wasnt a good idea because i would have bug problems. what do u guys think.
 
Check out the overwintering sticky at the top. I had 2 plants that I overwintered from last season. Horrible bug problems. Lost one plant.
I'd say do some research. This year I will be washing the rootball and repotting in fresh soil. But will also be keeping the water peppersauce soap ( in that order) mix handy.
 
If you just drag them in then you will have bugs. Just search some of the older posts on the site and you will find out how to prevent them or get rid of if they make it inside. I have 3 plants I picked up late from the Chili Woman that I have never put outside, just to try to overwinter them and avoid bugs. I know they would grow larger and stronger outside, but it's not worth the bugs.
