red peppers

Question

Why would the leaves and leaf stem turn up, not wilting, but completely turn over on my red pepper plants? Thanks.

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.
