I've lost two more pepper plants in the past week. They go from looking healthy to wilted and dying almost overnight. This has happened to both potted peppers and peppers I planted in the ground.
They're not dehydrated and the roots look fine when I pull them. It's happened to a big jim, a chilitepin, an aji charapita, a jimmy nardello, a tiburon, and a shishito.
Fertilizer burn? I put a tablespoon of 10-10-10 around them about 2 weeks ago. Never had a problem with those amounts before and as you can see from the below photo the plants around them are healthy. Haven't sprayed herbicide around them. They get full sunlight until about 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I water once per week.

I’m stumped on this one. That really is odd. I got nothing. Hopefully the rest survive!

I am having issues with my plants as well this year. Growing very very slowly. Looking wilted and yellow one day and the next seem to be fine. I think i was over watering them at the beginning, but I've only been watering once every 3 days for the last two weeks or so. I've tried fertilizers. It's been very odd. I am just going to keep with my water schedule and see if they improve as the temps continue to get warmer.

I don't think that's fert burn. Just looking at your other plants - were they all planted at the same time? Those other peppers look a lot more healthy.

My peppers are doing awful this year as well. No clue what is going on. I have 3 different varieties - last year they thrived. This year, not so much. Very yellow-ish color and not a true leafy green like they should be.
