I picked up a ghost pepper plant from the nursery two days ago and I've noticed that the leaves are already starting to wilt and turn yellow. I've watered it once already, but plan to water it twice a week and keep the soil slightly moist. I live in northern California (growing zone 9), and we've had quite a few 100+ degree days here, is it possible that my plant is getting TOO MUCH sun? Also, should i transfer it to a larger pot? If so, what size? Lastly, is it ok to keep the pot elevated off of the ground? I did so to prevent my pets from munching on the leaves. Thank you in advance!
