yellowing leaves on chili pepper plant
I think a soil test would cost a lot more than one pepper
plant worth, so I won't do that. I just bought some
epson salt ($1.97 for 3 lbs) and a Lilly Miller
"Vitamin B1 plant starter" liquid for ($3.97 for 1 gallon)
which contains:
B: 0.02%
Fe: 0.125%
Mn: 0.125%
Zn: 0.125%
I will add these to the water for a couple of weeks, or
until the plant looks better.

Just be careful not to think too much into it. It's very easy to get
bogged
down in the details of mineral deficienies and plant diseases and drive
yourself crazy trying to treat all these percieved problems. I would
highly
recommend having an extensive soil test done if you are pretty sure your
problem is a mineral deficiencies. Your local agricultural extension will
probubly do these tests for free, just request a full trace mineral
work-up.
It's important to be sure becuase having too much of some minerals can be
as
bad or worse than not having enough, and you could accidentally overdose
your plant. Just be careful.
