New chilli plant

[Lonniedonegan]

My wife has just bought me a quite large chilli plant which I repotted into a large terracotta pot to go on the patio, what I just realised is will it survive outside in Yorkshire over winter or am I best keeping it indoors altogether?? Oh it's a super chilli variety

Hi, Your chances of keeping a "Super Chilli" plant outside over the winter, are probably "None"
Your plant will almost certainly die if exposed to temps that fall below 10 degrees.

The link below, should help you on your way,,, hope it helps, cheers stupo.

I agree with stupo74 - you'll never keep the plant outside but maybe you can overwinter in a greenhouse. But I still doubt that

Thanks guys i'd better find an indoor pot for it and a nice sunny windowsill!!

yep, chillies like it hot

the odd night where the temp drops to 5-10 won't kill them, but they won't grow and if it happens every night they will die.
