Anyone here attempted to grow hops inside during the winter months?
If so share your experiences.

I've successfully overwintered a small hop plant two years ago. I just made sure it got as much light as possible, made sure it was in a big pot relative to the size of the plant, and gave it lots of water. Come warmer weather I put it outside and it did just fine.

So was it a plant you took inside? Or did you start it inside and then transplant it in the spring?

Do you start it from seed?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
