Pepper Plants

Question

I live in FL. and I was growing hot pepper plants in containers. The leaves of the plant is curling up and the peppers look sick.

Answer 1

As with tomato plants, peppers can also suffer from a virus known as leaf curl. This may be what your pepper plant is experiencing, though it could also be attributed to a lack of water or restricted root growth (if the soil in your container becomes too compact).
