I have a Fatali pepper plant that is just under a year old. It's been growing just fine and two months ago began flowering like crazy! It is about 8 inches tall and currently has lots of fruit and new growth.
Not sure what happened but about 3 weeks ago the flowers began to drop, followed by leaves. Healthy green leaves of all sizes. Over the weekend i noticed a weblike brown pattern on the leaves and a dark black/brown line forming on some parts of the stem. The fruit that has made it passed the flower stage are still attached and maturing, however new growth appears to not last. Some tips of the plant are also wilting and turning black.
I have no clue what this is. i keep soil moist. morning sun afternoon shade. Temp does drop below 60 sometimes here in my area. I did add some diluted MG fert a couple days before it took a turn for the worse, but had done so before with no problems. Please help! Any info on what could be wrong would be greatly appreciated. This plant is my baby and i want to give it the right treatment without hurting it more. Ive included links to pictures.
