    Calcium Deficiency/curling + bumpy leaves

    My leaves are starting to curl but also going quite bumpy on new growth. I have read somewhere this may be calcium deficiency and to add bonemeal to the soil. They are all doing this but the three below are the worst. They have had decent light, bottom watered and not watered too often. Is...

    They are crocus which I believe comes back every year. We havent planted them but inherited them from the previous house owners. We didnt have the house at this time last year so every plant that appears is a surprise and a mystery.

    Wooop. New branches :) Regarding re-potting. The Habs, Scotch bonnets and all others are still in the cups pictured above. I only moved the two Cayennes on because the roots were looking pretty packed in and the side of the cup was showing more roots than soil. They are about 4-5" tall I...

    Dont know why the light is holding them back. Sunny days they are in the conservatory and other times they are under a 250w MH bulb. 18 hours minimum light a day. I watered them when they started to droop and also put in a 1/2 recommended dose of Chilli Focus. Although I have been trying to...

    Thanks. I "borrowed" the idea off someone on here but cant remember which post and who to thank. Forgot to mention going to plant some Razmatazz for some different colours in the conservatory.

    Didnt realise they were under a artificial light. My first attempt at a chilli plant last year produced leaves probably 1/4 size of those. If you dont mind me asking what type of light are you using? Great looking plants by the way!

    How long can I keep peppers under pc's?

    Thanks. This has answered one question I have been struggling with. So its on age rather than photosensitive flowering?
