Chilli plant in cold weather

[Rebecca611]

I have a potted chilli plant in the garden. There are still a few chillis growing on it, however the leaves are getting thin and pale green. Should I help it by bringing it indoors when the weather is cold, or should I prune it now? I want to keep it alive for next summer if possible!
Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Rebecca, You would be best to bring it in until the last chillies are ready. It wont keep over winter so you will have to plant fresh seed come Feb/March and grow indoors until weather is suitable for puting it outside again, or if you prefer keep it indoors on a window or conservatory. cheers skylight
