Growing Chilli peppers, also Hot peppers

20 Dec 14 Sharon (Australia - temperate climate)
I have bought birds eye saplings and potted them in September. It is now end of December but there have only been a few additional leaves and seems to be stunted in height due to the cold weather in Melbourne. What can I do to help them as the temperature does not seem to get any higher than 25C? Melbourne will have the next 2 months warm, but will drop down below 25C once again in March, and I am afraid my saplings may not have a chance to thrive.
