| I started these Habs from peppers I brought back from South America last year, they were small and over wintered fine, repotted and been outside for about 3 months now. Ithink have grown out well, flowered good and have even set some fuit but I noticed the leaves on 20 out of 22 pots seemed a little puckered and leathery yesterday. I hit them with some fish fert about 3 weeks ago and a little Bone meal. I took a risk last night and gave them a shower with some 10-10-10, anyone got a idea? Also I need to put these in the ground soon, how bad would it be to transplant them as they are setting fruit? |

| That is very typical of habs. Maybe low on nitrogen. I would hold off a little before doing anything . Sometimes they can fix themselves . Especially if over fertilized. |

| Thanks, I think it might have been a little low there are back to normal now. I am finally going to get these put in the ground but I am wondering if that will cause some major issues as most of them have already fruited? Think I will loose the fruit if I transplant them? |

| I think if you keep the roots intact you have a good chance of keeping the buds. |

| Mine thrived as soon as i put them in the ground.. |
