Chilli not waking up?

[inuinu]

I have several chilli plants which I overwintered but only one of them has started growing again despite temps around 23C. Should I be worried?

No, it never is worthwhile, smile boys, smile. Wish we had 23C, it's about 10 C and grey here
Seriously, I think all you can really do is wait and see, and maybe plant a few seeds, just in case. If you find it is okay after all someone will be grateful for a nice little plant.

Yeah I'll just have to do that thanks!

I've tried overwintering twice with 0 success. Once in my basement with 4 plants and once in my greenhouse (Just kept it around 45 degrees) with 16 plants. I put a lot of effort into them with no success. In my opinion it would be easier to just start them a couple of months early inside.

I always have, didn't even know you could overwinter until I read it here, thought they were annuals. I normally grow from saved seed, but tried a Tokyo hot this year and the missus liked it for cooking. I have saved some seed from it , just to see, but it is an f1, so I have put it in the greenhouse with all the other tender stuff that I keep a little warmer, I'll probably buy another pack of seed as well.

That's surprising for someone in U.S . I'm starting some seedlings but so far my capsicum, thai chilli and jalapeno have woken up so I'm just waiting for my cayenne now.

The greatest asset in the garden, patience.
