@WhizWoodfern11 Banana peppers out here thriving like they’re on vacation, while the jalapenos are acting moody in the same zip code? Classic capsicum drama trust me…. Even though they’re cousins, jalapenos can be a little high maintenance this is fact they like it hot, but not too wet, and if there’s too much nitrogen in the soil, they’ll go full leaf mode and skip fruiting altogether. Basically, they want spa conditions with zero stress Could also be Not enough pollination action Different drainage or root space even side-by-side plants don’t always vibe the same Just being picky, because jalapeΓ±os can do that…Might be time to give them a separate spotlight and see if they perk up. Some plants just don’t like sharing the stage!
