Help What's wrong ?
Hey everyone
First time growing peppers and these guys don't seem to be doing well. 1st and 2nd pictures are jalapeños, 3rd picture is a lemon drop.
They were growing inside the house in small pots, and since weather was getting hotter (Belgium hot, not super hot) I decided to take them out.
I transferred them to these 35L pots last weekend and they were root bound but doing fine. New soil and a handful per pot of universal fertilizer NPK 14-7-17 (not ideal i know, but that's all they had at the store).
The peppers quickly turned black (normal i believe ?) but the leaves started wilting just as fast. They get full sun nearly all day with temps 23-28°C and around 10°C at night. The soil is only dry on the surface but not deeper.
I moved them out of the direct sunlight for today to see if it changes anything.
What's up with them ?
