Related: About this forumAny idea what is happening to this Cherry Bomb pepper?
Others from the same nursery are doing fine in a different location.
I even picked a pepper from one of the others today.
Could it be too much fertilizer?

On edit- if u reuse soil you could have a salt buildup. The clay pot could also have a salt buildup if it wasnt cleaned well.

I'll replant it in a clean pot with fresh soil.
