These were pruned, dug up, roots cleaned and potted up into the attached garage since early November. My new propagation tent arrived this week so thought I’d pop them into there. Is this how they normally look after a stint in the garage? The black colour is random, would have expected to have seen it starting from the twig ends and work its way down but seems sporadic. Any hope?

My first time attempting to overwinter, all of my other peppers look great. Just not these scotch bonnets.

    Scrape the bark a little and see if it’s still green underneath, that should tell you. I reckon these might be ok though if you move them somewhere warm and bright (preferably with grow lighting) and give them a bit of water.

    They don’t look dead to me, I’d water it and give it some light/sun. I bet they bush out in no time.

    Looks dry AF, the soil is pulling away from the pot.
    My overwintered peppers are trying to blossom right now.
