What’s Going On With My Bell Pepper Plant?

Question

My bell pepper plant has black right at the beginning of the stems on the plant. Last week a small stem/leaf broke off and now it looks like this. 🙁 what is causing it and can I fix it? Also, anyone know what’s eating some of the leaves?

Answer 1

The coloration is something that almost all peppers do. It will be no cause for concern. I don't think that the tattering is much to be worried about, either, unless it is spreading rapidly.
