My chili pepper is like this and i don't know what to do. I water it once a day by morning and yesterday the leaves were a little down and i thought it was just dry, then i watered it like normal but now its like this!
The soil is stil humid and there in another smaller sprout to the right that is doing fine! Did i overwater it? Is this sickness?
The leaves are closing but are kinda rubbery and one or two have fallen off already. Pls help i really don't want to lose it it was a gift 😭

For comparison this is the sprout on the same vase, They are roughly 15 cm apart
Too much moisture and poor soil. Let the soil dry no need to water everyday
Peppers like to dry out between waterings. Give it a few days to dry out and stop watering daily.
Your soil looks like clay. Would help to repot into soil with more aeration. Perlite helps or adding coarse sand for better drainage. Your roots can’t breathe so no matter how much you water they won’t be uptaking it or nutrients properly
Too much moisture. Also add some sand to help drain. Peppers don’t need a ton of water
Your soil should be deeper than that. Give your plant some breathing room and watch it thrive. It definitely could be overwatered or underwatered
