Why does your Capsicum frutescens have white powder? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
This fungal disease is characterized by white, flour-like patches on leaves and stems, often triggered by high humidity and poor air circulation around the pepper foliage.
Infestations of these small insects leave behind 'honeydew' and a white, waxy coating on the undersides of leaves, often accompanied by tiny yellowing spots.
These sap-sucking pests secrete a white, cottony wax to protect themselves, which can look like powder or tufts in the leaf axils of the pepper plant.
Excessive fertilization or hard water usage can lead to white, crusty mineral deposits on the leaf surfaces or soil surface near the base of the plant.
