Don't waste your time with cuttings. I would suggest preparing some good
potting soil and amend it with a little organic fertilizer. Dig out your
plants with as much root as you can and transplant them into pots. Add some
lava sand if it's available in your area to help retain moisture. Let them
establish in the pots and give them as much sun as possible. Do not over
water. Most people tend to over water plants indoors in pots. I don't know
what your zone is, but I would suggest that unless you are in zone 8-10 they
will not continue to produce. The goal would be to keep them alive and
overwinter them so you can replant outside after soil temps have warmed.
Then you will have a huge head start on next years production. I live in
zone 8 in Texas and have a chili pequin plant that stays in the ground year
round. It freezes back to the ground in the winter, but has come back for 3
years in a row. I have harvested well over 1000 plus peppers and sun dry
them for use on pizza or whatever. Some I dry in the toaster oven for a
more "toasted" taste. They are great.
Previous to having acreage we kept a chili pequin in a large pot for 7 years
and even used it as a Christmas tree a couple of years.
Your plants have only been producing for a month or two? Hmmm. I've been
getting peppers since late April...but again...it is paradise..( oh
sorry....TEXAS)
lol..hope this helps.

Hello all. I have a question I hope you can answer. In my garden I
have jalpeno, habenero, and cayenne pepper plants. They have been
producing for a month or two now, and I was just wondering if it is
possible to take some cuttings from these to keep indoors for the
winter(or did I have to do this before flowering? If so, what do I
have to do to keep them alive? Will they have to be kept on a certain
light schedule to keep producing, or can I get them back into a
vegetative state(what I want to do) until next spring?

Thank you for your time, and I greatly appreciate any advice!
