Mine did that a while back and it was because of over watering.

In the for what it’s worth department, I have not had a great deal of success, growing Cherokee Purple in containers.

Cherokee Purple was very picky for me last year and didn’t like to be pruned and it was overly sensitive. Its leaves stayed curled like that. I decided not to grow them this year. I’m trying Black Krim and having a similar issue so it might be the darker skin varieties are prone to leaf rolling.

TBH I’m not quite sure. But it does look like it’s impacting the branches where you pruned a sucker off the most. Those pruned sucker nubs look quite large. If you’re going to prune, maybe try pruning the suckers when they are much smaller. That would be what I tried next, anyway.

Not exactly sure but wetting the foliage like that ain’t a great technique. Water the soil, don’t splash… Drip is best.

My Romas are looking like this as well. I was thinking it was due to heat since we have been in the 90s for the past week. My Cherokee Purple and Kellogg’s Breakfast plants don’t look like this so I started doubting it’s the heat.
