Someone Please help me!!
My Thai spicy pepper plants are having a bit of trouble here in S.
Florida.
1.) A number of them have leaves which are getting a white swiriling
line going through the leaf and then the leaf turns yellow and finally
dies off. Not sure what this is nor how to cure it in a manner which
will keep the peppers safe to eat (organic). Some dishwa****ng soap
in water perhaps? Not sure if this is fungal though.
2.) We had a bit of cold weather this past week (over the nights)
where the temperature dropped to the low 60's or 50's. One of the
thai pepper plants leaves shriveled up and simply began falling off
even though I gave it water. I am wondering if the plant can still
come back and what the best way to get it back will be since the stem
is still very green. Also, what products (if any) I should be using
which will keep the future peppers safe to eat (organic). Not sure if
this is fungal though. I sure hope it is not root rot as I do not
know how to cure that organically. I do not think Subdue Max is safe
to use on produce.
Below are some pictures. I greatly appreciate your help!

Please advise so I can save these plants. They are hard to find / buy
with the heat value these have. = )
