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.
