holes eaten in chili plant leaves and pods.

Question

I use a natural soap (seaweed) based spray, hit the plant with a fairly strong blast of water, use epsom salts once per week, and have twenty or so other chili plants close by in containers. Suggestions?

Answer 1

My first thought, since you have already treated the plant, will be that it could be a fungal infection. Just in case, I will include several articles that will help you out here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/pepper/common-pepper-plant-problems.htm
