I check on my plants today. Sadly, 2 out of 3 chili peppers died. One is surviving for I don't know how long. I tried spraying with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide with water as suggested by @DaddyEvil. I must be late in my intervention. But they were still okay last week. So I just have to wait and see. As for my calamansi plant, so far there is no worm eating leaves around it. It has grown to around 18 inches tall already. My hibiscus plant had a flower yesterday, just one flower bloomed but I'm happy.

I imagine you did not dilute hydrogen peroxide enough, in small concentration helps, a little too much and it kills.

@LadyDuck I think I was too late to save them. All the leaves are drooping

Cheers to the small wins. I always lost with the worm in our calamansi plant. Lol! they appear out of nowhere when I'm asleep.

That's so true. I lost hope for this calamansi plant already months back. But the leaves grew again so now I will fight for them

I am sad but I guess it is what it is. I have to learn more or watch them more if I want to give it a try again

Peppers don't dwell well in hot weather. They wither easily.

I've grown one before that bears fruit. But worms ate the leaves then starts to wither. The issue now with them I think is fungus but too late to save them

I'm sorry you lost the rest of the pepper plants but I hope that one survives. Good luck with the one remaining plant. I'm sure the hibiscus flower is beautiful.

It's summer in my city and no use planting plants. My mango tree is big and full of mangoes and the hibiscus and rosemary are bearing flowers.

Hibiscus flowers are so pretty, aren't they? I hope your plant has more flowers for you.

I hope your plants survive. The hydrogen peroxide should improve oxygen quality on the compost and eliminate root rot as well as eradicate pests etc I have no idea anyway stage that would still be effective

Are you sure the soil and other conditions are suitable for the plant?

Well, I think so but I am not sure. I do not consider myself as good in plants
