My bell peppers aren’t doing well. The orange one was very hard with bruises and I had a red one that split getting very moldy. Has anyone had any success? I have a couple other ones and I’m wondering what I can do to get them to do well once they turn colors. It seems like that is where the issue started for both.
Looks like bugs are eating it bruh
0 likesIf it’s splitting, it could also be that it’s getting too much water (from rain or watering) and the skin can’t handle it

They sometimes do that (brown spots)when there not getting enough nutrients to properly produce the vegetables. I recommend this.
Thank you! I’ll give it a tru
0 likes Your welcome, i had tomatoes doing the same thing and used this. The splitting is from to much water and if the outside i recommend covering it with a mesh net the lets some water through but deters most away from the plants

0 likes much rain can be detrimental to plants. Excessive moisture can lead to root rot, nutrient leaching, and soil erosion, ultimately harming plant health and growth. Negative Impacts of Excessive Rain: Root Rot: Waterlogged soil deprives roots of oxygen, leading to root rot and potentially causing the plant to die. Nutrient Leaching: Heavy rain can wash away essential nutrients from the soil, like nitrogen, which are vital for plant growth. Soil Erosion: Rain, especially heavy rain, can wash away topsoil and expose plant roots, making them vulnerable to pests and diseases. Plant Diseases: Wet conditions favor the development of fungal and bacterial diseases that can affect leaves, stems, and fruits. Impact on Growth: Excessive rain can slow down plant growth and affect blooming and fruiting. Compacted Soil: Waterlogged soil becomes compacted, further reducing oxygen availability to roots. Signs of Overwatering: Yellowing or wilting leaves: Indicates the plant is struggling to absorb nutrients and oxygen. Drooping stems: A sign that the plant is not getting enough oxygen or is suffering from root rot. Soggy soil: A clear indication that the soil is holding too much water. What to do: Improve drainage: Ensure proper drainage in your garden beds by amending the soil with materials like compost or sand, or consider building raised beds. Ensure water runoff: Make sure water can drain away from plants and not pool around them. Aerate the soil: Loosening the soil can improve drainage and oxygen flow to the roots. Monitor plant health: Pay close attention to your plants for signs of overwatering and address issues promptly. Adjust watering habits: If you're using containers, ensure proper drainage and avoid overwatering. Consider mulch: While mulch can be beneficial, temporarily removing it during heavy rain can help prevent waterlogging. Control weeds: Weeds compete with plants for resources and can reduce airflow, so it's important to remove them. Stake plants: Provide support for plants that may have been weakened by heavy rain. Apply fungicides: If fungal diseases are a concern, consider using a fungicide as directed.
