Default what happened?

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

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.

Default Habaneeros dying

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?
