Q.My Bell Peppers Keep Getting Brown Spots Why?

Zone Sacramento California 95825 | MrMike added on September 29, 2020 | Answered

I’ve had four or five bell peppers but every one of them got brown spot on them. I’m only giving them half a day sun water every evening. Feed them with a good organic fertilizer.

This is a severe magnesium or calcium deficiency. Unfortunately, along with an actual magnesium or calcium deficiency, it can be caused by environmental factors, as well. Overwatering is a very common cause.

Checking your pH, and soil nutrient contents will be the first step. After testing for actual deficiencies, you can begin to diagnose other environmental factors.
