Dead or alive(chilli)?Wakey,wakey!

[coreopsis]

I took 6 plants to the house hoping to overwinter them.2 have a couple of leaves(so deffo alive),1 has green stem with some leaf buds that do nothing(hibernated?)and 3-I haven't got a clue.Bare stems and no sign of any growth.I watered them a wee bit when the compost was dry(without any plant food)and kept an eye on them so they weren't neglected at any time.When do you "wake up" your chillies and how do you do it?

they do it on there own once the days get longer....you'll notice growth...if you have the room keep them till they start to 'wake up'.....but...i did this last year with 3 of them and ended up throwing all 3 away come April....
