So this is a year old jalapeno plant. Has been inside over winter. It's currently in some coir mix. It's just struggling along. At this point it's just an experiment as all other seeds grew massively, gave hundreds of chilli's and didn't survive winter outside.

It's in an undraining pot that might be an issue. It seems to grow strong leaves then go yellow wither and die. It's currently summer here but temps range from 30c to 0c. So it's in the house and gets about 6 -8 hours light when we get sun. I put it outside to get as much sun as possible when it's hot out.

Just playing around to see how I go.

Disregard the seedlings. They are capsicums I'm just getting ready to plant. Was easy to chuck them In. They are a few days old

My bet is that the pot is the issue. Repot in a draining pot or get some aggression out poking holes in the bottom of that one. Seems like they like thier roots to dry out between waterings.

Yeah makes sense. I will shift it to a new pot. I did kinda assume but looking for easy way out
