The leaves on my pepper plants seem to be curling. They kind of look like they are wrinkled. Any idea what might be the cause?

Have grown peppers several years and still learning of them. Too much fertilize can cause curled leaves but most important question is what variety you are growing?

Many capcicum chinense´s make curled leaves and that just normal for them. If your plants looks otherwise healthy you should be fine. If you know what your plant is easiest way to see characters of it is to use googe search.

Got any aphids? I've seen my pepper leaves wrinkle during an aphid infestation.

I am growing cayenne, habenero,jalepeno, bhut jolokia, cherry, and thai ornamentals. The cayenne seem to be the most affected. I have heard this could be a calcium deficiency but I will also check for aphids. Thanks!

Well I checked under the leaves on the more wrinkled one's and there were a few aphids but not many. What is the best spray to get rid of these and how do you get it under the leaves on plants only 5 to 6 inches off the ground?
