Leaf problems

[chillilover]

I have noticed some leaf problems on a few of my plants. Some leaves are like the pics not all.

Fatali

yellow 7 pod

In the first pic, are you worried about the "bubbly" look of the leaves? That seems like par for the course with Fataliis, at least in my limited experience. They usually flatten out more when the expand.

Pic two you're worried about the curly margin on the top right of that leaf? Don't sweat it! Most all my plants have a few leaves that look like that. They're growing outside, and any number of things might do that, none of which are detrimental to your plants' health.


Don't sweat the small stuff chillilover!

 

[chillilover]

Thanks, I do worry a lot. The first pic is blurry but its not only the bubbly look, the leaf looks twisted in spots. I'll try to get a better pic.

Only problem I see is flash glare.

I don't see anything wrong with the plants. Just because every leaf or stem or flower isn't perfect doesn't mean you have a problem chillilover. Relax and enjoy the experience. Your plants are looking good.

Heres a clearer fatali leaf pic and a really curled 7 pod leaf. It almost looks like a cayenne pepper curl.

Anything on the bottom of that 7 Pot curled leaf?

If not and it's only a few leaves don't let it concern you.

 

[chillilover]

Nothing on the bottom is curled. Heres some more pics of it.

The affected plants also have some gold on certain leaves. Is this related or just sunscald?

Check for aphids.

 

[chillilover]

I do have some aphids. Do they make the leaves turn color or just get wrinkly?

They make the leaves wrinkly, turn color and DIE.

They can, they can also transfer viruses as well.

the aphids love new growth...you can kill the aphids but the damage they leave behind is what you are experiencing...deformed new growth...IMO

 

[chillilover]

Will the plant still produce pods okay?

 

[patrick]

They should.

It would take a lot of aphids to keep a pepper plant from producing pods. What steps are you taking to get rid of the juice sucking SOB's?

 

[scarpetti]

That looks like what white flies will do. They hang out under the leaves and suck out the moister from the leaves. The end result is yellow or white spots that you see from the top of the leaves.
