# My habanero plant is still producing and the weather here in the PNW…

_Posted by Mamasal on 2025-11-05_

My habanero plant is still producing and the weather here in the PNW is all rain and much colder. I am wondering if it is worth to move it into its own pot and bring it indoors. I don't want to part with it and it's definitely flourished \[in size and harvest\] from the time I planted in late spring Thoughts and how?

I find its easier to keep a cutting of it, but if u want to keep all of it definitely rinse off all dirt from roots and repot. U dont want to bring in any fungus gnats. I recently started using perfect plantista insecticide and I highly recommend. The scents and essential oils all the bugs hate IS STONG. Its got thyme, peppermint oil, and cinnamon. All things pests hate. it smells like Christmas lol

Definitely look into overwintering it! Especially if you don’t want to part with it. There are many great videos about overwintering peppers on you tube. It’s a beautiful plant. Great job!
