I’ve had this chili plant for a few months, and since a few days ago it started loosing leaves. At first it seemed very healthy and the leaves were falling after their base was seemingly cut or damaged. The leaves themselves didn’t look sick, they were actually lush green and firm. So I decided to test to soil and apparently the conductivity was low. I decided to add NPK 15/15/15 even though I suspected it was not the problem. Now the chili is dying from what I suspect is an overfertilized soil (see pictures with the leaves burnt and hanging). I’ve change the soil and pot but it seems to be too late. Any idea on what was wrong initially, or how to save the plant ?

Cheers

Hi

It’s hard to say what has happened. But if you suspect it’s over-fertilizing then it may be. Or it’s not getting enough water.

Has the temperature changed? And are all leaves like that and falling off?

All the best
