Pepper plant is droopy - normal?

19 years ago

This is my first year growing peppers. Since planting the pepper in a 5 gallon container, it's been droopy. My tomato plants look ok, but the pepper plant is droopy. There's one pepper that's growing on it and now that's starting to look odd. It almost looks like it may be getting blossom end rot.

I'm wondering if any of this is normal? The temperatures here have been in the low 80s to high 70s. The nights have been kinda cool in the low to mid 60s. I heard that peppers like hot weather (over 90), could the temperature be the problem?

I'm also concerned that maybe I'm not properly fertilizing it. I'm treating it the same way I treat my tomato plants, is that a problem?
