Hey getting back into growing peppers and my sugar rush is doing crash hot. I was watering it when the leaves started to droop a bit and that was going fine for it and all the other plants, but now it doesn't seem to be bouncing back when I water it? Sorry if its a stupid question

    I’d say water it. It might just pep them up.

    Feel how heavy the pot is so you can tell whether it’s waterlogged

    Transplant to a bigger pot when healthier. You also won’t have to water as often.

    Check the soil. If it’s not getting revived from watering your soil might have dried out to the point it’s become hydrophobic. In that case sit the pot in a non draining container to absorb the water. Stick your finger in as deep as you can and you should not feel dry soil.

    Small black plastic pots heat up like crazy in the sun. You may need to water multiple times per day or move to something lighter colored/bigger/and maybe different material.
