# This strange coloration is happening to my young shishito pepper…

_Geplaatst door Sarah op 2025-04-18_

This strange coloration is happening to my young shishito pepper plants. They are in raised beds, watered by irrigation once a day. They are covered in 25% shade cloth. It’s not too hot yet in Texas, but are they burned? Overwatered? Thanks

It looks scorched. You may have to increase the sun protection over this plant. Then, gradually increase the light exposure. 🪴🍀
