How to Make a Bonchi - Everything You Need to Know

5 years ago I made my first attempt at over wintering my precious chile plants as Bonchis and posted my how-to here on the channel. Unfortunately I made some mistakes that ended up costing me almost all my plants, and I learned a few lessons. This video is an improved method that will give you a much better chance at successfully creating your Bonchi AND keeping it alive until Spring!

Good info. My only addition is the introduction of a smart plug. I used one and it works a treat with the whole Alexa set up. No noise and pretty reliable

" I swear I'll post the updates this time guys" lol.
Fun video though I might be trying one of these this year come winter time.

I really appreciate this update! i've been looking into bonchi'ing my Carolina reaper which didn't fruit this year because of it being planted late.

Btw, I saw your 1st video on your 7 Pot bonchi just last week and to my surprise, you made an update thru this video. Hoping to learn more on how to turn my Reaper into Bonchi. 🌶

[@maryfraenkel8282]

Great video! You mentioned that you've been doing this for several years now. Does that mean some of these bonchis are years old? I mean, have you used this method of over-wintering multiple times on the same plant?

[@nickdoeseverything431]

I have one plant that is going into its third year, but no I haven't kept many that long. I've been living in apartments so it's not always feasible to keep a lot of plants, but now that I have a house I plan to keep some plants for many years!

Thanks for the video! I cut down one of my chili plants from last season that I'm planning to overwinter, this video had a lot of good ideas on how to keep it alive and growing. I live in an apartment so it will come in very handy to be able to make bonchis as I gather more and more plants.
Cheers from sweden

I literally cringed when I saw you stick the shears, blades down, into the soil .. right after mentioning that they ought to not be so rusty ..
