Hi... (again!) :-)

I have a bunch of chilli's growing happily in their pots inside. Well, I say happily... Two are starting to show signs of ill health.

The leaves have yellowed significantly on one (another just starting) and not black spots have appeared. Should I discard the plant, move it away from others... Any ideas what it could be. The others seem to be fairing well.

Many thanks indeed for you help :-)

My very very limited experience of chilli plant problems would be check if you are watering too much. I water once a week with tomatoe feed and just one other time if the look like they are wilting. I went on holiday and asked my neighbour to babysit my chilli plants and came back after a couple of weeks to see them looking yellow and sickly. Some died - he had watered them "just like my tomatoes".

The yellowing is probably a lack of nutrients - the black spots however are far more of a worry.

Have a look over here http://www.thechileman.org/guide_disease.php

Id isolate the plant asap.

I shall isolate said plant right away. Thanks for that.

I did overwater the plant once about 2 weeks ago. But have since allowed it to dry out and then fed it with tomato feed...
