Sweet Pepper Shrivelling

[HawfinchParticipant]

Hello,

I have a problem with my sweet pepper plants – they are still in the house waiting to go outside. I have two varieties, Jimmy Nardello and Padrones. The upper leaves have started puckering up, after a while they shrivel up and die. It’s not on all the plants, but is spreading. Could it be too much, too little water? Not enough heat, disease etc.? I can see no pests on the leaves, but have detected brownish spots, I hope one can see them on the third photo.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hard to say, could be aphids sucking. Are there aphids under each leaf?
Or a compost problem.
Or overwatering as their pots can safely be kept quite dry.

No, there aren’t any aphids anywhere. I use the same, my own, compost that I use for the tomatoes that are doing very well, so maybe it really is too much watering.

Thanks for the input, Charles, much appreciate it.
