So last sunday at the I Like It Hot Pepper festival here in FL, there was a guy selling many pepper plants. So I picked up a Tepin, and one Labeled Fatali Bonnet... Btw does anyone know what the bonnet means on this label? I did a search and could not find "fatali bonnet" as an official name.

Anyway, yesterday I am checking the new arrivals out, who sit amongst the other 60 some plants I have. All the other plants are fine, expect the new guys. Can anyone tell what is going on here?

Is this root rot?

Hey, thanks for taking a look.

+1 Mikey,

Also looks like there could be some sunscald going on there, maybe he raised them in a shade house before selling them? Could just be the lighting in the photo though.

Agree with TGPS. Looks to be green house grown. Get them in the shade and take time harding them off.

Damn it. That makes sense. They are currently in about 6 hours of sun.

I got them in the shade just now. It'll be maybe 2 hours sun.

On the Fatali all leaves except two new growth leaves have also be burnt.

What are the chances this guy will live out a normal life?

Your chances are pretty good. Severe cases of sunburn will slow the plant down, but probably won't kill it.
