    Last year chili peppers
    Growing Chili Peppers
    May 13, 2009

    Many peppers survived the winter. I adopted different solutions for them, and I'm trying to figure which is the best.

    Pasilla BajioI left the Pasilla Bajio outside all winter long. It had some unripe pods, and once removed them, it started to bloom. Now it has a lot of small pods.

    Peter Pepper RedPeter Pepper stayed out too, pruned at the base, but it's not blooming yet.

    Aji Blanco CristalAji Blanco Cristal, pruned at the base too, it's already blooming.

    Black PrinceThe Black Prince was pruned at the base and put in the cold greenhouse during winter. Now it has new black and green leaves.

    Numex Suave OrangeI took Numex Suave Orange in cold greenhouse, but without pruning it. Aphides infested it and I had to use an insecticide.
    Now it's blooming.

    Gent.ma Si.ra Graziana
    mi chiamo Daniele e vivo nella provincia di Cremona,

    La disturbo per chiederLe quando è giusto potare le piante di peperoncino, prima del freddo lasciando il fusto mozzo nel terreno o l anno prossimo agli inizi della primavera ??
    Perdoni l ignoranza ma sono alle prime esperienze..
    grazie molte
    Daniele P.

    Salve Daniele e benvenuto. Sono possibili entrambe le soluzioni: potando le piante prima dell inverno esse smettono di vegetare e vanno in quiescenza, quindi non sprecano energie. Se però ci sono gelate potrebbero non sopravvivere in ogni caso lasciate all esterno e consiglio di portarle in casa.

    Sig.ra Graziana,
    grazie di cuore per la tempestiva risposta,

    Debbo confidarLe che purtroppo ho le piante nell orto e non in vasi.. Inoltre no avrei spazio in casa per portarle dentro qualora le travasassi..(ma credo soffrirebbero troppo).
    Non mi resta che potarle prima del grande freddo e sperare in una loro ripresa in primavera..
    Qualora comunque mi decidessi di travasare le due habanero horange e di portarle in garage(dove si giunge comunque ad una t° min. di max 5 gradi) dovrei comunque potarle e a che altezza ??

    grazie ancora per l eventuale risposta

    In genere le piante si potano alla base, a pochi centimetri da terra.
    E inoltre possibile conservare i semi per seminare nuovamente la stessa pianta la primavera successiva, considerato che non si osservano miglioramenti produttivi significativi nelle piante del secondo anno.

    Buona coltivazione: il Peter Pepper è una pianta generosa e produttiva, e i suoi frutti -oltre ovviamente a prestarsi a numerosi scherzi- sono ottimi saltati in padella.
