Your information on plant health, concerns and remedies is outstanding. It has probably saved a couple of my seedlings. Thank you guys!

This was very helpful, it was 102° where I live and the leaves themselves looked very healthy, but they were still wilting.

Good to know they’re just transpiring.

I thought cannabis plants were high maintenance until I started growing peppers. Oh boy

[dogslobbergardens]

It's a good thing I like peppers so much, because they're definitely the pickiest plants I grow and always seem to need the most babying ;)

Really helpful tips. Never expected a tropical plant to overheat in Norway, but some shade in the afternoon and they're doing much better!

Thank you for your videos, l am retired and living in Thailand (very hot) I have started to grow chillies as we eat a lot here and also as a past time hobby, the weather is around mid 30s most days with high humidity, needles to say these are very good growing conditions year round. Your videos have helped me with identifying a few plant

A few years ago I was having problems with wilting and I discovered that the problem was the black pots were getting too hot in the sun. I shaded the pots and solved the problem. The smaller the pot, the bigger the problem.

I live in central North Carolina and our summers are HOT. I remember my reaper plant was terribly wilted last August and I freaked out. Posted a photo of it on r/hotpeppers and everyone was like "it's fine. I basically water torture my plants every year". Gave it some water when the sun set and it looked perfect again.

Great information as always! I just moved my plants outdoors this past weekend and they are welding, every single one of them about 30. After hearing your information I knew it wasn't the water because I thoroughly watered them after potting them. The next day I saw the soil was still moist yet they were still wilting. So I'm leaning towards the sun shock you talked about. Glad it's nothing to life threatening. Thank you again for your videos and all your expertise.

Thanks for saving our transplanted plants.

My madame jeanette comes back to life in a few minutes after a bit of water, it's impressive! It does not like a lot of sunlight.
I'm currently doing a treatment for fungus in the soil, using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water and I thought my pepper plant would suffer from it but it's blooming super fast.

Thanks for your videos, they're very informative about topics that don't have lots of informations.

I just started about 2 months ago, this is exactly what happened to my plant so I placed it back to the shade, so far I only lost 2 flowers but Its ok..rookie in training lol

[alontsaraf]

Your videos are truly amazing.
i would really appreciate a video explaining the distance the pepper seedlings need to be from the light source while growing indoors in relation to the light wattage.
I have a 40 watt led and i try to figure out how far it needs to be from my plants.
I only saw this topic was discussed online in wattages that are higher(ranging from 100 to 500+ watt).

[justindpeak]

Great video, the only thing I would have added that causes common wilt is when a pepper plant has just been repotted and is a little stressed out.

[christeebs]

perfect timing, I've been giving my 2 plants identical care and one is drooping unbelievably. But its soil is pretty saturated

[janwilliams]

I use shade cloth to protect the plants in temps over 100. Works good.

Mississippi and it has been a rather wet year (even for here) - I think I have bacterial wilt. Pulling the plant this morning. Thanks!!
