Hi all, thanks so much for the responses! And apologies for not replying/thanking sooner!   Leaf-cutter bees seems to be the most likely, and as the plant is doing well apart from that I will let the bees make their nests :)    Thanks!

Hi guys, can someone help identify what is harming my chilli plant?    As you can see in the picture, it seems to be growing healthy-looking chillis, but the leafs look like something has been munching them, and there is white dotting.    Can anyone identify and advise me on how to treat it?   ...

It was in pretty bad shape after winter, and had received almost no sunlight as I didn't want to leave it outside in the cold, so I'm not too surprised it is only just starting to bud chilis. Hopefully the cutting of the dead stems will help it bud more. 

Umm assuming that overwinter means that it stayed alive through winter, this plant is overwintered from last year. I'd say I got given it around September or October, with chilis almost ready to be harvested. Since spring approached around March/April in Madrid, Spain, it has been outside, and...

Hey everyone! I was gifted this chili plant around October last year, and after a tough winter where I thought it might die it's doing great out on the terrace in the sun! It's got 4 chilis starting to bud, and hopefully a lot more to come!    But - I don't know what kind of chili it is, and...

Sorry to waste anyone's time who's reading this, I just made an account to get some tips on how to take care of my chili plant, but before I can do that I have to post something about myself...   I was gifted a chili plant, it's starting to produce chilis, I need some advice. I will ask the...
