I've been growing peppers for a few years now and haven't had any issues. This year however I grew two super hot plants (ghost and black hab). The plants grew nicely until one day I was moving my hand through the ghost plant to see how it was coming along and I accidentally snapped the two main stems with very little force. Then today I woke up to find an animal (probably my dog) had snapped the main stem of my black habanero plant.
I don't recall my plants breaking so easily in the past. Are they typically so delicate, are the hotter plants more fragile, did a dry spell this summer just make them brittle, or did I just have some bad luck.
