I am not going to be digging them up just yet, I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to prep them for when I dig them up later. I do not want to compromise there flowers though. This is the first year Im growing a Bhut Jolokia, and it seems like I wont get any peppers this year as they are just now starting to flower and I hear it takes a long time for them to ripen.
Also how would I go about digging them up for winter. Bare root them? and then stick them in potting soil? i have tried to overwinter peppers before, But I believe I did it all wrong. As all of them just finished ripening the peppers on the plant and then slowly started to loose all their leaves before November.
Thanks

PS: The Bhut plant isnt that big, only like a foot and a 1/2 at the most. But it is very healthy as far as I know. What size pot should I use, And Im going to be using Miracle Grow potting soil, as thats the only potting soil around here that I can find for a decent price
