wind

A big wind blew all but 2 of the leaves off 1 of my plants last night. What do I do ?

Relax......it will probably grow back. Chiles are quite hardy.

Give it tender loving care, and it will come back as long as there wasn't any other damage. It wasn't a cold wind, was it?

This would also be one of those times that a dose of a nitrogen heavy fertilizer like Miracle Grow or fish emulsion would be helpful.

I use yates thrive.

Its already got it on it like a week ago. I put a hand full in each pot once a month.

I had one young seedling that got torn by the wind, and then a large wooden chair fell on it.
Even though it looks like some higher power is trying to kill it, the seedling still lives!

We had 3 weeks constant of 30-40 knot wind here a couple of weeks back, despite having to drive pickets in the ground to support my plants they are looking great, most of the leaves are already making a comeback & Ive got lots of nice pods riping up
