Why are my pepper plants wilting after transplant?
2016-06-08 6:57 pm
I recently bought a bell and 6 banana pepper plants a few days ago from a really good floral shop. They were already hardened off and healthy when I bought them. I transplanted them the next day and 3 days later they look like they are on deaths door..I picked all the peppers off them today just in case they die. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Water! Add water! It could be that their roots are not spread out enough to get watered from the rest of your garden.

It is hard to tell what caused your pepper plants wilting, because you didn't mention whether they were seedling or grown up ones. Generally speaking, they should be hardened off prior to transplanting and also not to disturb the root ball and their main root afterwards. And then the most important of all, is to trim part of the old leaves so as to reduce the amount of water evaporation and keep the soil a little bit moistened and providing shade as well.

It could well be that your transplant medium is too porous to retain water properly.
Try mixing with some peat moss and fertilize it. And water just the plants-not the whole garden.

How did you transplant? Never break up root ball. Also some say trim 1/3 of the bottom leaves. I left mine and the bottom leaves died anyways so there you have it. Also water hole before you stick plant in. I didn't do this either since I don't have all day. My stuff is doing well though.

Plant shock. Plants droop for a few days after being transplanted.
They should come out of it in a day or two more.

Sounds like they weren't hardened for this transplant. Pepper plants don't react well to transplanting unless they've been properly hardened off by decreasing the day temperature to 60–65°F/16–18°C for 1 week before transplanting.
