Sweet Pepper Problems: Aphids and Blossom Drop

Thick, bubbled, curling leaves = aphids. Blossom drop = fungus or heat.

Two-Pronged Fix

Aphids: spray insecticidal soap or neem on undersides.
Blossoms: copper fungicide + bloom-set hormone spray.
Water deeply, mulch, high-P fertilizer.

Check leaf undersides first—aphids hide there.
