    Hi,

    I have a couple of pepper plants which are healthy looking with several fruit on each plant. I noticed the two largest fruit which are about 75% full size have started to rot from the bottom.

    Any ideas to what may be the cause?

    Hi OBG.
    You say the peppers are rotting from the bottom. Do you mean the end the flowers started from ?
    I think you are talking about Blossom End Rot.
    A complicated subject which has been well discussed before.
    Have a Google under BER or on this forum.
    If we can be of further help do come back with the question.
