Hello!
Hope everyone doing well. I planted a few pepper plants in ground and they seem to be struggling. The leaves are curling up. Any ideas what could be causing this? Maybe too much water or fertilizer? Pictures attached. Thanks.

I was thinking the same thing - chinense peppers have that crinkly type leaves. This is why a pepper I have - a Datil - that was listed as a chinense, doesn't look like one, with perfectly smooth leaves. They look pretty good, otherwise, with no discoloration, or anything like that. They don't look very large, but I don't know when you planted them.sherkyle wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2023 4:07 pmHey - actually, I think you just have a really hot variety of pepper. Ghost pepper, trinidad scorpion, and carolina reapers all have really curly leaves like that.
I could be wrong, of course.
Also - peppers like full sun and hot weather. You got it?
