light green leaves and yellowing

the plant used to be in a pot but the roots become compact in the pot to i transplanted it to the ground. it still have not recovered yet from its hooked leaves and the colour of the leaves became light. now its turning yellow and dropping.

two weeks ago i gave a 21:21:21 spray to improve its foliage but no improvement yet.
should i gave anything more ?? like seaweed ? magnesium ? etc.

pls advise
 
I would try some epsom salt salution, that seems to keep my leaves nice and green. I use 1 table spoon per gallon of water and spray the leaves once a week.
Also you may want to check your PH, if tahts way off range the plant wont be able to take up nutrients from the soil.

Good luck
 
srin2, I noticed that the leaves at the bottom are falling off also. That would suggest to me that they are in need of some nitrogen.
 
same thing happened to my brids eye plant i just cut back on the watering and pulled all the yellow leaves off then my plant was a whole lot better so i do that all the time now each time i see any yellow leaves

currently just cayenne type , bird eye , tabasco , sweet bell peppers , fresno type and habenero. waiting for the dorset naga and bhut jolokia to sprout.
 
it could have "too much water" problem if the water is flooding towards your plant looks like you have cement rigth behind the plant is the water draining towards the plant? are theyre any bugs (aphids) sometime they cause leaf curl.

Did you spray them with the epsom salt yet Srin?
Might also need some nitrogen...

the cement you see at the back of the plant , 1 feet away is the drain and the gradient of the ground is towards the drain.

yup did it today....i teaspoon to a gallon of water .just used a mist spray to do the job

how often to i need to repeat?/
 
srin2, I'm not sure what you have done to remedy the problem yet but I would just give them a shot of full strength ferts. something along the lines of a 10-10-10 would be good. My guess though is all that plant needs is some nitrogen. Light green leaves changing to Yellow then lower leaves dropping is a sure sign of nitrogen deficiency. JMO.

so you use one gallon of the mix a week on the plant ? or just mist spray on the leaves and keep the rest for next week ?

so how to know how much is enough for the plant ?

i tend to burn the plants with fertilizer sometimes.
even if i was following the label dilution amount.

so i am more careful nowadays.

You just spraty all the leaves untill they are wet.
I dont think this mixture of epsom solt is very strong.
