Hi everyone- I over wintered these peppers last November. I cut them down to just a stalk, rinsed the roots and repotted in new soil. I thought they were supposed to go dormant, but they sort of took off. My question is now that I’m hardening them off to go back outside, should I trim them back? They have some pretty long parts, wondering if you would cut them back or just let them go?
I have larger pots that I’m going to put them in once they’re ready to be outside full time.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Not sure if this pic went up on the post. Here it is again.
I wouldn’t prune those. They’re very vigorous with a uniform green and the growths aren’t too long and spindly. I’d say this is a good sign and means you’ll prob get a headstart this year. But if you don’t plan on transplanting them, those pots look like they will get tight real quick and then yes, you’ll need to prune it back.
