Thanks for that - I had suspected that it may be sun scorching. I have
moved them to a slightly cooler, shaded part of the greenhouse for now,
and I will keep a close eye on them.

Will I be able to move them into direct sunlight again? Or do they
prefer shade?

Full sun--as long as you acclimatize them in slow steps.

On the other hand, the wild chiles of southwestern North America are
often found growing under trees and shrubs, where they are shaded
from the mid-day sun. (The birds "plant" them there.)
