Hello! I have 4 Jalapeno plants, and 3 of them have leaves that look to varying degrees to be curling/twisting/not healthy. All of the leaves are affected--newbies and oldies. It has been humid here in SW Ontario, and warm/hot. Am I overwatering...? Is there a nutrient issue? The soil I put in the new gardens ended up being awful--very little nitrogen. So, I've been fertilizing regularly and carefully. Any suggestions...? Thanks in advance for any help!
p.s. GREAT website! | |

Hi KJ!
There could be several things going on and it is hard to know what exactly is happening without examining the plant etc, but I suspicion it is likely a combination of overfertilizing and overwatering. Peppers do better on a light fertilization program from my experience so you may be overcorrecting for the poor soil. | |
