Yellowing leaves

O

Ollie

I'm starting to notice a few problems with my funky reaper plant, it's been moved into a greenhouse, temp has been reaching here in the uk in the greenhouse between 25 - 52c mostly 30-39, there now under 45% shade netting, windows and doors open at all times, there getting around 12 hours direct sun, with temps dropping to 10-12c at night, all my other plants are fine (habs cayenne Bhuts) apart from both these funky reapers, I've cut right down on ferts after getting brown tips on the leaves once again with just these 2 plants, there both in 18lt pots, with plenty of chilli's and flowers, the bottom leaves on both plants are yellowing not just one but around 5-6 leaves on each plant, I've seen no bugs apart from spiders on them, I'm confused to what it is as all my others are fine... I'm watering maybe once a week, I'm thinking nitrogen def or to warm, the photos don't show how yellow there but all around the edges and tips are yellow

I notice that the plants sometimes kill the older/lower leaves then focus on top growth / make a branch out of the node where the leaf was.

Thanks for the reply, I had a look and I'm unsure but with that information I have a calcium and pot def in them... I know the bottom leaves fall off but didn't think that many would fall off at the same time,
 
Yellowing can be caused by a handful of issues but the single most-common cause of yellowing is overwatering. How often are you watering and what approach do you take to it? Do you let the leaves droop just a tad between waterings? If not, give that a try and you'll see them start to green back up in no time if it's simple overwatering. Keep in mind that chile plants like things somewhat on the dry side - more humid than wet.

Thanks for the reply I water about once a week I had been spraying the leaves with a mister also every so often, if that would make a difference I've removed some of the leaves that have gone 100% yellow, I've noticed afew on the top have a little yellow leaf tips now as well, I have new beaches growing from where the old leaves have been removed that a perfect green colour
