I'm fairly new to growing in pots and I think I put way too many in a single pot. The white one has 5, middle two 3 plants. The plan was to buy new, bigger pots for all but the plants feel so fragile that I'm worried up-potting them will kill them. I want to keep them indoors year round to prevent pests. Had a two year old jalapeno die in winter because it had aphids and my gf REALLY doesn't like bugs inside.
From left to right they're long cayenne, sugar rush peach, habanero chocolate and lemon drop. Zone 8a/8b.
What would you do? Just keep them like this? Seperate the plants? Keep them together but in bigger pots? Something else altogether?
Thanks in advance!

Yes! One chilli plant per pot is the max. Separate them, or discard some of the excess ones. Put some outside too, you don’t need to bring them back inside again when the weather cools down. Overwintering is an option, not an obligation.
