Q: Dear Dave,

Some of the new leaves on my Bolivian rainbow pepper plant are curling.  I know there are no aphids on this plant, as it’s only on this one out of the five pepper plants I grow indoors.  I think it’s that the plant is too close to the grow light, and the leaves are too sensitive to the light. Have you ever heard of something like this?

Thanks,

Dan

 

A: Hello Dan:

More likely it’s the heat generated by the bulbs.  Try moving the lights twice the distance from the plants than they are now.
