One of the best things you can do is thoroughly check any new plants she bring in to make sure they don’t have mites. Or even quarantine new plants in a separate area. Mites can be hard to spot and at a greenhouse they could hose off the plants enough that you don’t see the mites, then after a few days in the house they repopulate enough to be noticed.

If you do decide to cut the smaller plants off and grow them I would just suggest letting them callous over (let the wound heal up) for a couple days before planting them just deep enough that they don’t fall over. But as Amy said you could also remove the leaves and set them on top of the soil to grow new plants.

Hi! The leaves are looking a bit yellow. She could maybe do with some fertilizer. It could also be the change in sun intensity. If she used to be in a sunnier spot in the old house and now isn’t getting as much that could also be stressing her out. Even if you’re not using the peppers removing them and any flowers could help too. That way it’s not putting energy into keeping them alive. It can stimulate the plant to focus more on foliage growth (growing leaves) instead of fruit.

Hi, I’m Sam, I studied horticulture in college and have been working in a greenhouse for the last 5ish years. Plant identification and propagation are my favourite plant topics. So, I thought it would be fun to join a community where my plant knowledge might come in handy 😊.
