Afternoon everyone,
first post here so please don't bite,
ive been reading around for the past month and know there's a wealth of knowledge between you all.
So, i am very new to this, literally 3 weeks,
i jumped straight in to buying seeds and plants,
All fruit and Veg,
Strawberries,Potato,Sweetcorn,Peppers,Peas,Grapes,Raspberries,Lettuce,Carrots,Beetroot,
oh and a few sunflowers for the kids
as you can see i am pretty addicted,also bought a plastic greenhouse from poundstrecher (had to take it back twice)
Also got plagued by snails earlier in week,Ate my pepper plants nearly whole, left a few leaves (seemed to have recovered , i hope)
i laid some slug pellets down the following day only a few and must of got over 50 snails.
Well back to the question,
i bought a beautiful sweet pepper plant yesterday from a lady, it is around 10 inchs tall and about to start to flower, it was very healthy when i collected it,
so last night i re-potted it, as the pot was quite small she gave it to me in, and gave it a good water,
Well today , most of the leaves are very droopy, the sun is out today and thought it would of corrected itself, but some of the leaves have folded up...
What have i done wrong!!
have i watered it too much? it has plenty of draining holes ,
im thinking its still too cold outside ( around 17c outside in the sun) probs warmer in the plastic greenhouse.
she had the plants growing in her porch,
Sorry for the massive Essay...
Thank you
