water Could to much water?

millworkman · Jun 9, 2008

Could to much water cause the leaves on my Jalapeno plant to just fall off? They did not wilt or curl, just noticed this morning that they just fell off. Any ideas, if you need I can get some pictures.

Thanks
Noah

Pics might be good. Are you talking about all of the leaves? Or just some?

Have you recently transplanted how big are the plants? - and bump on the pics

All but one big one, there are new leaves growing in but very small still. Crappy cellcam pic.

Yes, I've seen that happen from too much water but usually they wilt first.

Thats what is so strange, it did not wilt at all. The leaves were on the ground and looked normal, just like the one still on the plant.

Are they outside? if so did you just put them out? cant tell from the pic.

They have been out for probably two months or more.

Since there are new leaves growing than it may have been some sort of bug that cut them off.

Then I wouldn't worry about it. Could have been a freak accident/one time occurance. Just keep an eye or five on it for wilting, bugs, or hellhounds.

I appreciate the help man. It feels strong, the new leaves are growing in very nicely and a lot of them so...

anyway, thanks again.
