Deficiency?

[chillilover]

I was wondering what is causing this on some leaves of my Trinadad Scorpion?

 

[chilliman]

Is that a lower leaf ?

Upper.....

Chilliman.. what if its the lower leaves like that ? what does that mean ?

I think if it's a lower leaf and getting shaded it's not getting enough sun and will be dropped. Maybe the plant isn't getting enough sun?

as LGHT said .. its lack of light and the plant will natural kill off the leaf (as its not needed anymore), takeing chlorophyll (the green) out as it goes.

Look on the leaf's bottom to seek spider mites. Sometimes chile plants, esp. chinenses, drop leaves that way if they are infected by mites.

well the plant gets sun from morning to abt 12.30 pm then the place is shady.
even like this, the plant withers when i get home from work. ( Temperature is quite high during the day)

You could try giving it some epsom salts just in case it's lacking in nitrogen. Of course the nitrogen has to be there as well though.

Epsom salt does not contain Nitrogen It is MgSO4

Its not life threatening, I would let it be for awhile see what happens. As It shows more signs react to them, is what I would do.

i have given some epsom salt a few days ago. should i add some blood meal , a table spoon of it ? Or should i wait a week before doing anything ?

Be careful when adding anything to the plants especially if your treating a problem. You need to be sure your adding what a plant actually NEEDS that's causing the problem. Just randomly adding Epsom salt or nitrogen would probably cause MORE harm them help if it doesn't need any.

Here is a great resources that explains the key elements a plant needs and more importantly pictures of what they look like when they don't have enough nitrogen or too much nitrogen. If your not sure just take a picture and create a post like chilliman did.
