April 19, 2022Q.Why Do My Red Bell Pepper Baby Plants Wilt In The Sun After A Few Minutes?
They are fine over night and the first few minutes outside, then they wilt in about 70 degree weather. They are pure green and look good til then. I have them in pots/buckets that I bring in and out each day. Sometimes they do better then other days and bounce back easily. I read they are good in full sun. I live in far northern California and its very low humidity and so I water when it needs it, sometimes twice a week and I do less water then overwater. Any ideas of why they wilt so fast in only warm weather, as it is only april. Thank you.

Certified ExpertA.They look like they need more water. They are very small yet and may need water every day. I wouldn't saturate the whole pot, though, if they are in large containers.

Certified ExpertA.To get the red color, you have to leave them on the vine till they change from green to red. I'm wondering if they would do better in a smaller container. If your container is not full of other veggies, the peppers may be getting too much water.
They need sun, fertilizer, and moist soil. Here is how to grow them:

35405Q.Amt Of Epsom Salt For 2gal Water Chamber On Growbox For Bell Peppers 8plants
Added dolomite as directed to potting mix and used organic 3-5-5 fertilizer from garden patch grow box supply. Plants look great but peppers developed end rot. Picture attached.

Certified ExpertA.If you have added dolomite as directed, then I would not add epsom salts, or if you do then add very very little. Dolomitic lime takes some time to break down, but will contain the calcium AND magnesium necessary for proper uptake.
Make sure to test your soil periodically. These results will help you to keep your soil amended.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, this is likely a number of causes, together. Blossom End Rot and insect problems come to mind first. Sunscald could be likely as well.

Certified ExpertA.This looks like a bacterial infection! Usually, this is due to soils that do not have an opportunity to dry out between waterings. a fungicide will be necessary.
