Re: pepper plant issues

I have one pepper plant doing exceptionally well with little peppers on it. I don't like peppers. A friend gave it to me.

Yeh...my plants that are not doing well - I think they don't like
where they are planted.  I have some others that are doing
exceptionally well and producing little peppers.  Those are in whisky
barrels on my back porch...go figure.

Green and vibrant and no blooms usually means "happy as a clam", growing
well, and possibly over-fertilized.

Yours sounds like they're really stressed. When mine are in that shape, I
remove the peppers ( sometimes keeping just one on the plant if I can't
stand it), give them some TLC, and let them gain strength. They usually put 
on a big lot of peppers in a month or so.

I have a friend who sent me this e-mail:
"I have 8 red pepper plants that are about 18  tall and very green and
vibrant, but no blooms. They look totally healthy and happy . What
should I do? Fertilize? Underwater? Overwater?"
What should I tell her?  I have just the opposite problem I have about
six pepper plants that look like hell and leaves are falling off every
day, but there are tiny peppers growing on them.  I don t even think
the plants are strong enough to support the peppers when and if they
get big.
