Hi Everyone,
First time poster, so hi from Glens Garden.
I have a little problem.
I put up a green house in my garden and my Capcicum plants have developed a wilt and spots. I need to know if its the increase in heat or a rooting problem? [img:center][Linked Image][/img] [img:center][Linked Image][/img]

peppers like it hot and the air around them to be semi dry. Keep the soil evenly moist.
I suspect that the problem is related to moisture on the foliage when the sun hits it, but it could be a fungus caused by excess humidity. Either problem can be resolved by providing better fresh air circulation. Open the greenhouse up during the day and add another fan or two.

Thanks for that.
I made another window for more air flow and instead of over head watering i went for a drip line instead.
I pruned of the bad leaves and watered them with a Fungicide to the roots..
Also i actually didn't have a fan, but think i should invest in one for more air flow..
