Problem with pepper leaves

15 years ago

So I posted this in the Vegetable forum but thought it would get better exposure here. I'm a new gardener who is doing fairly well with a raised bed garden. However, my pepper plants with the exception of two bell peppers were being shaded out by larger plants. So I just recently transplanted them to 5 gallon containers (two days ago). Yesterday, when I came home from work and checked out my plants, I noticed that a few leaves on my Cherry Hot pepper plant looked pretty bad. All my pepper plants had some leaf curl to a varying degree, so when I transplanted I added some bone meal and epsom salts to the potting mix, along with a dose of 10-10-10 fertilizer (since they had never been fertilized since planting and I'm just now getting flowers). About 1 TBS of each to the 5 gallons of potting mix, thoroughly mixed in. I've attached a picture of what one of the leaves looked like; anybody have any ideas? Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Tim
