So after a rough start because of my young plants being defoliated completely by iguanas, I resorted to caging them up (the plants), and can now see that my trees are taking shape. They are about 4 months old and as tall as a human.
My "Trinidad Scorpion" is bubbling with fruit
But.. I think I have issues with 3 plants and I dont exactly know why they are behaving this. I am concerned they might have a disease that could spread to the other plants. Preemptively, I have removed two of the suspicious ones out of the cage and into another part of the house.
This is my "carolina reaper, its new leaves curl a lot and as they grow they seem to straighten out a bit. Its filled with flowers but the vas majority of them just drop, about 4 peppers have just set recently.This one is is still in the cage.
This next one is one of my youngest "chocolate bhutahs" and recently its new leaves have also started curling up.
And this last one is the one that worries me the most, as the new leaves are looking very deformed and curling downwards, it also just got its first flower.
Is this something I should worry about? Could it be the tobacco mosaic virus (no smokers in the family)? Could this be caused by over fertilization? What do you guys recon I should do about this?
Thank you very much for your help.
Cheers,
Abel
