I have seen it recommended that you remove the plant give the plant and the roots a good rinsing and then replant in a small pot in new potting mix. I did not do it because I have too many plants (I am overwintering other perennials) and not enough potting mix. B54red brought up the aphid issue earlier in the thread, and I wish for your sake that that matter had been discussed more because pest is a known issue and what needed to be done to address that issue is fairly simple especially since it was only two plants.

Yes, there were some aphids on the plants. No matter how much you try you can't remove them all. I am surprised to see people not having aphids on peppers, they are a huge problems some years (this year has actually been almost aphid free until october).
