Title: Chilli leaves behaving oddly!
Post by: ellkebe on May 25, 2005, 19:23:56
I'm not sure if this is a 'pdd' but it's certainly odd behaviour.  The leaves on one of my chilli peppers are sort of twisting over along the stem so that they face downwards.  No pests that I can see (they're indoors still) and no marks on the leaves or stems.  I've googled but the only similar thing I can find seems to describe leaves curling upwards into a distinctive 'boat shape' (no mention of the leaf stem twisting).  Could mine have something similar?

Thanks for any help.

I get the odd one that does that each year. Does not seem to effect the yield though.

That's a relief Jerry - many thanks.  Oddly several of the leaves now seem to have untwisted themselves!  The affected plant is busy setting little flower buds so I guess everything is doing what it's supposed to  :)
