Caribbean Reds

I sent you a message,  Savina. Theres a nursery near you that sells ghost and scorpion plants. Last year the ghosts were true. I bought 5 at $3.00 each so far this year and they look healthy . I buy from a nursery here that gets em from them. 
 
A couple years ago I got Caribbean red pepper plants from a local nursery and they ended up being red habs so I really do wish you the best of luck because the flavor of the true Caribbean red is unmatched in my opinion for a hab
 
How would describe the flavor difference between a regular Caribbean Red Hab and a Red Savin Hab? I gather the Savina is hotter, but is it otherwise the same?
 
I have grown the regulars before, but this will be the first year for Savina.
 
on another topic. I just picked up an 8-9 foot of the following at my local costco and all of them have lots of blossoms and small fruit all ready.
 
Peach tree
Nectarine
Plum
 
I also picked up a nice 4 foot mandarin tree. All for a $129.00. 
 
So now I have 2 avocado trees, a lemon, a lime and the trees I just bought today. 
 
I'm growing these this year from seed, extremely excited! Of all my seedlings these ones sprouted first and look the best so far. While I do love Orange Habs, I'm getting bored with the quality and monotony of the store bought ones, so I can't wait for these Reds to start producing.

I'm going to post some updated pics as most of the plants are not doing well and dropping leaves in the larger containers.

Dislike, any idea what is wrong?

I bought some bulk potting soil and planted in that a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if they need some extra nutes and or maybe over watering. Some of the same plants in the ground are doing well and 3 others that are in clay pots are doing well too. All getting the same amount of water. And the clay pots and plastic containers have the same soil. 
 
I still consider myself a novice when it comes to growing pepper plants. 
 
I attempted to over-winter my peppers last grow season. By that I mean I just left them outside and completely forgot about them lol
 
Not many survived. Both my Caribbean Reds did! That pleased their master much! I also was generally a fan of their growth, their heat, and their taste. So I'm now a fan.
 
I went to Green Acres Nursery around where I lived and picked up a 6-pack of them for like 4 bucks! Not bad for where I am. I was super stoked.
 
So I will be growing 8 Caribbean Red plants, two of which are quite established from last year :) :) Excited.
