Pepper Plants Declining After Transplant: Upside‑Down Leaves & Dark Spots

Peppers looked healthy until planted. Leaves "turned upside down", dark green spots. Asks what to do.

Need More Info

• How soon after planting did symptoms start?
• What does "upside down" mean? (Cupped? Rolled? Inverted?)
• Spot description: round, irregular, sunken? Dark green or black?
• Night temps after planting?

Likely Culprits
