Hi

Sounds as if you have over watered them.

Are they planted in multipurpose compost ? if yes it holds too much water around the roots I grow all mine in a john innes soil based compost with added grit which drains very quickly and I only water once the soil is dry I dont keep damp others may not agree as we all have out own methods how to grow plants ..

all is not lost just leave them alone and dont water them , hopefully they should pick up

Thank you !

What did you feed them? Just curious. I hope they recovered for you.

Liquid a vegetable plant food from our nursery

If you can possibly transplant them into the ground, I think they would do much better. I don't know why they went droopy. They can quickly turn into small trees and I wonder if the pot can support them especially when they start producing peppers.

I have loads of peppers on them already. I don't know what's happened

So sorry to hear this- very disappointing. Don't know why this happened but on different tack if you are dealing with fruit rather than leaf veg its better to feed with a high potash fertilizer once the plants are growing well. Potash encourages flowering and fruiting, while general fertilizer has a bigger proportion of nitrogen which encourages a lot of leafy growth. And don't over feed - more isn't better.
