I see that you've planted the chiles next to a concrete base and right
below brick and mortar. My guess is that your soil is possibly WAY to
alkaline. The chiles are doing poorly because of the soil and that
invites all the other problems. Sickly plants are more likely to suffer
from insect damage & virus. Check your soil pH & go from there.

What about the plant in a pot? :-\
If the roots haven't grown through the drain holes and aren't touching any concrete would they still be acceptable to any alkaline from run off? :-\
