disease-pests Leaves yellowing and curling

I have three ghost pepper plants, a "mother" and two "daughters," grown from her seeds, so to speak. I treat all three as equally as I can in terms of water, sunlight, fertilizer, etc., and all three have already borne a substantial harvest this year, with more peppers still ripening. Nevertheless, over the last week or two, I have noticed that the older, larger pepper plant has started declining in appearance relative to the two younger plants, both of which still look quite healthy.

As seen in this photo, the leaves are yellowing and curling slightly (getting worse over time),
Compared to the leaves on the two younger plants that look fine to me,

Any idea what is causing this?
