Hi all

My Bonsai is still alive, its been about six months now
and autumn is about two months away. I have no idea
what to do during Winter

It's a Bazillion Pepper
I'm in South Africa and in this region during winter its dry (never rains)
and never snows, so conditions are reasonable but dry

do I let it grow or sleep (dormant) during winter
regards
Steven

It is the cold that can be the problem. Anything lower than 4
or 5 degrees Celsius will be a problem for Brazilian pepper.

Otherwise, treat it normally. In warm areas it has no dormant
period AFIK.
