Hi Dave,

I love your site! This is my first year growing peppers. My flagship is a large habanero pepper which looks stong with lots of potential. My concern is this: In last two weeks I have noticed that the some leaves of this plant are trying to flip upside down. I can manually turn them right side up but before long they want to turn over again. I fertilize 2 a week with 20-20-20 and water sparingly. Is this anything you’ve heard of or do I just have a dyslexic plant?

Hello Ian:

I had this same thing happen to an ’Aji Amarillo’ and although it was unexplained (and still is), it didn’t harm the plant at all. Don’t worry about it.
