Wilting Chilli Plant

DistortedVision

I have a chilli plant in our conservatory. It has about 10 ten chillis growing on it some fairly large and lots of flowers.

The last two days I've noticed most of the leaves are wilting and 2-3 leaves near the base are turning yellow.

I've been watering them carefully and giving them tomato feed once a week. I also have aubergine, tomato and pepper plants in the conservatory and they are all doing well.

I'm worried the chilli plant is dying. Can anyone please advise?

Many thanks.

Sounds fairly normal to me, leaves do go yellow eventually even on healthy plants. Just to be sure i would give it a feed with a more balanced fertilizer and/or some epsom salts.

The leaves turning yellow near the bottom is pretty usual, but not the whole plant wilting. It's difficult though, some chillies look a bit like they are wilting as they grow older.
Firstly check that you are not either under, nor over watering. Check there is no pests on it. If you need to and if you can, you can take the whole plant out of the pot carefully, by holding upside down and checking on the roots and how damp the compost is down below.
Water from the bottom by standing in a tray of water until the compost is soaked, then take the pot out and allow to drain. You won't need to water very often like this.

I think I may have overwatered it the last time. I'll take a photo later on. I hope it can recover.
