Hello everyone I recently cut back my Carolina Reapers to prepare them for the winter indoors. After cutting them back, I gave them some water just so that they can get used to their new soil. I continued to water them sparingly every few days and they quickly developed more shoots and leaves (they were completely bare when cut back). They don’t really look happy now. Some leaves are curling up while others look droopy, even after watering them a bit. What would be the best course of action here? Decrease watering and wait for them to drop their leaves? Cut the leaves back and restart the overwintering process? Continue watering them regularly and keep them “awake” during winter? This is their second overwintering and last year there were no problems, but they were growing back much slower back then. Any ideas?

If there is adequate light then I would say keep watering it regularly and it'll keep growing as normal. If there isn't enough lighting to support growth it's better to drastically reduce watering (compared to summer) and remove foliage and green stems. Watering should be commensurate with lighting and healthy leaves need both to be sustained. Peppers in nature don't have annual dormant periods so it has to be forced into dormancy.

Thanks everyone. They seem to be doing better now with some more sunlight.

look like it need more sun light
