Hi Paul,
The plant you were given, does it have any fruit left on it???
Is it a fairly young plant?? from this season???
If you check out the link i posted in a previous post, that should give you some idea, as to which route you wish to take over the winter months.
I am having a few issues with my pc at present
, but when sorted, i will be posting some pics of my "Overwintering" plant trials.(including a Scotch Bonnet)
Check out that link though, you will find alot of Great info.
Hope the above helps, cheers stupo.
