White or greenish growths may appear on pepper leaves.
This scares many people and gardeners try to get rid of such seedlings and throw away peppers. But this should not be done.
Despite the fact that such leaves look unsightly, the situation is not critical. And here is what needs to be done about it.
The reasons for this phenomenon
Pepper leaves begin to deform, and at this time greenish or white growths appear on the underside of the leaf.
Such pimples indicate that dropsy has appeared on the pepper leaves. They occur because the plants absorb excess water, but do not have time to use it up in a timely manner.
This is not a disease or an infection, but a physiological disorder in which the leaves become deformed.
Peppers do not need to be treated with any chemicals; the leaves will remain as is.
How to prevent the emergence of reformation
You can do the following:
- reduce the amount and frequency of watering;
- monitor air humidity.
Watering is done in the morning as the soil dries out. Plants are watered with non-cold, settled water.
To ensure that the plants feel comfortable, the plantings should not be too dense.
