Title: Pepper plants dieing
Post by: kt. on April 11, 2012, 21:26:29
Most of my pepper plants are all withering away.  The leaves are falling off at the slightest touch for most of my varieties.  The plants are not more than 1" tall.  I will have to buy some now as it is getting too late to sow again.  I am going to pot them into fresh compost tomorrow to see if they will perk up.  Last chance at the OK Corral.  Any other suggestions welcome.

Hello

Pepper plants will drop their leaves if temperatures fall. It isn't a rare thing to happen and quite often when the plant is feeling better they start growing again. Dont give up on them just yet especially as yours aren't very tall.

I've started a little pot of the pepper seeds I got free from GYO last yer.  The few I sowe in a pot on the window sill are all about 3" high and now for the last three days they've bee hardening off outside by the back door, they look ok and I hope to stick em in the ground this weekend.
best
Mick
