Dear All, This is probably a well visited topic and a novice questions (but if it looks, walks and acts like a novice....) Anyway I recently planted a Habanero in a pot on my apartment's front patio. It was doing beautifully until yesterday. Coming home from work I noticed many of the leaves were eaten away and a thick, clear mucous like substance was interlaced on the stems of many of the leaves. Can someone please tell me what is doing this? I tried the de-bugging mix suggested yesterday of 1 part dishwater soap and 4 parts water. Will this work? I did find a snail wrapped around one of my Anaheim plants as well and used the Space Shuttle cure for it. Thanks for your help, Darren
