Hey, Watered my chilli plant last week and put it outside in the glorious sunshine we had last week. When I came home from work I noticed the leaves had yellowed slightly and curled slightly.

Hey,

Watered my chilli plant last week and put it outside in the glorious sunshine we had last week. When I came home from work I noticed the leaves had yellowed slightly and curled slightly. It was well watered (no water sitting on the leaves though) and there was still water in the tray underneath. Its a very leafy tree, should I just prune back the affected leaves?

yeah brought it in at night newbie. The nights were actually quite cold last week so kept that in mind. I subject it to heavy pruning so its quite a low plant with plenty of leaves on it. I have let it grow out substantially and am only pruning back new leaves now.

The yellowing is occurring on only one stalk, best to just prune this stalk back?
