Help for Pepper Plants

12 years ago

Hi, I have lots of various pepper plants - (red, bell, banana) a few are doing ok, despite some lost their leaves when I planted them. (these are all bought plants from a nearby nursery and the tailgate organic mkt). My question is - what can I do to help the ones that are not doin ok? I just have the smallest looking scraggly pepper plants......even the banana pepper plants. Help! Thx for any help.
