hello, 

I've had some chillies growing in my greenhouse. first time i'm growing chillies 
I noticed the leaves stay curled up, is that normal? or do they need anything? I initially thought they needed water but even after a few days the leaves are the same. 
they are Habanada heatless chilli

    The fully grown plant has rather curious leaves...so it may be fairly OK, but I'm worried by the state of the soil in that pot. Did you use garden soil and not compost? 

    Anyway, here's a photo of this variety in its fully grown state https://images.app.goo.gl/83iMgAUq96ZPap8D6

    What a strange proposition to have a habanero chilli without the heat. Learned something new today 😉

    I used the soil from the compost' mountain' which was on the allotment when I got it. maybe I should get a bag of compost and repot them. 
    yeas I was very surprised and the chilli looks very interesting as well! so i'm very curious to see how they get on.

    thank you
