How the heck do I get rid of these ugly things in my red bell pepper plant?! They’re only on this plant, nothing else! And what even are these things?

Wish I knew. Try the self diagnosing app and maybe it will help you.

Idk what that is but in case of fungus or pest you can take a q-tip and dip it in some alcohol and wipe and dab that off. The rubbing alcohol should kill whatever it is
