I used a homemade garlic water and soap replant on my hot pepper plants because bugs where eating it. I have now learned that it was a terrible idea because it is killing all the leaves on the plant because the soap stripped away the waxy protective layer. If all the leaves fall off the plant but the shaft and root of the plants are still strong is there any possibility of the plant will survive? Will it grown new leaves to fight back? I have added some compost on it to help it and am trying to take off some of the bad leaves. I’m new to gardening and I’m so worried I’ve killed my whole garden.
Soap must be used extremely sparingly. Not only will it amplify light on the leaves, but it will make the soil pH too alkaline, as well.
The underlying disease will need to be treated, as well.

I bought a Rey Pakel hot pepper plant from a garden center not too long ago. Within a day the plant's leaves began to wilt. When bought, I transferred the plant into a bigger pot and mixed it with my own potting soil mix and fertilizer tablets. It would be very much appreciated if you can give me some tips on how to revive this plant. Thanks!
When repotting a plant, only go up one or two sizes. The more soil that is in the pot, the easier it is to overwater. If your pot is much bigger than the nursery pot, I suggest scaling down. Other than that, it is probably just the stress of repotting. It should perk up in a few days.
I have a load of pepper plants in containers on the balcony. They've been a bit battered by aphids (treated with soapy water and flour) and caterpillars (removed and thrown over the balcony), and very battered by the big storm we had a few weeks back. They wilted quite badly after the storm, but since picked up again. However, now I've noticed some discolouration on the leaves. It's only the plants that were badly hit by the storm and the aphids (I have some pepper plants on the other balcony that weren't touched by either), so I wasn't sure if it was maybe wind damage, or if there's something more sinister going on. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Insect infestations will always bring about disease, as well. A fungicide may be necessary to correct the issue. These articles will help:

The lower leaves on my pepper plant have turned yellow and dropped off while some other leaves are yellow with small black spots on them. Am I over watering or underwatering?
Hello respected sir/ mam your plant is not dead and you are not overwatering .... You can prune or pinch off the very yellow leaves ... But remember if it is half yellow and half green wait it to turn very yellow .... Then you can prune it ..thanks for asking .. have a nice day with your plants
Hello respected sir/ mam your plant is not dying you may prune off your yellow leaves .. if you're plants leaf are half green and half yellow you can wait it to turn full yellow .. you can pinch off or prune the very yellow leaves thankyou ......
Drip irrigation twice a day, morning and night, but only for about ten minutes
That is likely. You should water, only, when the soil is completely dry down to about 2 or 3 inches between watering. This will not be on a schedule.
