    Hi I am not too sure what's happened to my pepper plant last night I watered it ,l have kept it for 2years in the veranda and it's been fine but this morning it was wiltered so I spayed the leaves with water and put it outside in the yard but later moved it in the shade of the yard but no difference I examined it no pests on it
    It's got flowers and little peppers on it so what else do you suggest I do?

    Thought the pot might need changing so carefully repoted it used Coco soil with compost
    might have overwater ed it as the compost was wet at the bottom

      Hi Pete the pepper plant unfortunately wilted worse although it was green I did see some brown roots but they were mostly white I left it outside over night we had a thunderstorm/hail but next morning it looked shrivelled so I took it out of the pot and put it in the bin and got rid of the dirt I think I throw the pot away because I think the pepper plant caught a virus not COVID lol or root rot because I did notice the soil was wet when I repotted it it's a shame I was hoping to save it

        That's a shame, you could probably still pick up a plant locally if you want to.
