Default Needing some advice

Hi all

i have just got these new plants

Scotch bonnet
Inca red drop
jalapeno
habanero
starfish
navaho
gumdrop

The thing is that the leaves seem to be alot lighter green than others i have seen on here and a few of them have the leaves curling upwards a little on the edges, i dont think ive over watered them and ive not put any extra fertilizer on them yet, any ideas, ill take a photo soon and show you what i mean, i have just repotted them though maybe thats why. im keeping them in a small plastic greenhouse with temp around 20-25 with the front door flap open to let in air and closeing it at night.

Hi there,

Light coloured leaves are usually a sign that the plant is still in seedling stage, which can last for different lengths of time depending on the type of pepper plant.

This light colour is often due to the lack of dark chlorophyll production, and is normal during early stages of plant development.

Sometimes a lack of sunlight or short lengths of sunlight exposure can draw out this process to longer than it needs to be.

Also, it may be beneficial to start feeding the plant.

Hopefully this will help, but if you have any pictures, you can send them to: mail at chilli-willy.com, leaving out the spaces and including the @ sign instead.

Regards,
Chilli-Willy Team.
