i had 6 habanero plants that were doing very well and then suddenly four of them curled up their leaves and appear to have died, all in one day. the other two plants are growing as before. has anyone experienced something like this? jon

we need some pics. I know mine curled when the didnt get enough heat/sun and they were over watered.

Are they in pots or in-ground? Has anyone been spraying herbicides nearby? You might dig one up and check the root ball for rot or ants or a dry pocket.

This is a strange season. I planted three habanero plants in pots. I would have expected them to be really big but they are not. It may have something to do with the hot, dry , weather

Peppers love hot, dry weather. What is your soil composition in these containers?
