so i over wintered my ghost pepper plant last year she gave a good amount of peppers so i thought this year id put her in a huge pot n maximize her potential, anyway.. im in southern california and summer is near she started showing signs of coming back but im not sure why it seems to have misshapen leaves with a bit of yellowing... some growth is warped and some looks fine to me. I put her in the biggest pot i had now im hoping for the best but id like to know what could be wrong, not sure if its a deficiency or root issue.

I live in a igloo with polar bears lol way up in northern Manitoba Canada. I won't see spring until May. On record, this has been the coldest winter yet. Tempature has been -45 -50 for the last two months. Brrrrr! I stopped watering the peppers for a week and all the leaves pointed strait down and curled up. I watered them last night and by morning they perked back to life! Ill try out the pollination and keep you posted;) Greatly appreciated! Ghostjuice.

My ghost pepper plants. I live in the Philippines and these have been growing for 14 weeks. I don't use chemicals. I only use the caribou's excrement for fertilizer. The plant on the right has over 100 buds to flower and 14 in fruiting stage. The 2 on the right are now producing buds to flower. My brother sent me the seeds from the States. I still have about 30 more seeds. Fingers crossed for a kickin harvest. Mabuhay at kampay!

I don't see a problem, either. The fertilizer spikes are something that most folks frown upon, however. I wouldn't use them. Josh

My guess is tomato horn worm eggs. Google for images. They will hatch and produce very hungry caterpillars which will eat all the leaves. They leave brownish droppings which look like small spheres stuck together and get larger as the caterpillar gets bigger. The eggs were left by a moth which the caterpillar turns into. Knock the eggs off and look under the leaves for the worm(s). They are well camoflauged cause they are nearly the same color green as the plant.
