I have a pepper plant outside in full sun for at least 5-6 hours in a pot. The plant is getting flowers, but the leaves are turning yellow. I really want to save this plant. Can someone help me? What could be the reason? There are no bugs, and I water only when the topsoil is dry.

Probably needs fertilizer , peppers are hungry plants.

Agreed

Google says a good 5-10-10 ratio which h is a fertilizer with 5% nitrogen, 10% phosphorus and 10% potassium. Which I think it just about any regular plant fertilizer is I’m not mistaken. Probably also best if it’s a water soluble one that you premix before you apply for instant feeding.
