By all means trim them back, same a Doug - I've kept them for up to 5
years without trouble. When bringing them back outside a little light
at a time so they don't get sun burnt. About this time of the year I
use to get a harvest of peppers, if you find white bugs on them a
solution of soapy warm water dies the trick.
Good luck - happy eating
