Problem with chilli plants
Chilli Pepper None Given
I have a problem I believe it's white flys or aphids, I'm not quite sure so I've added a few pictures. I had bought a capsicum plant from a Bunnings store; once I got home I realised there seemed to be an issue with it, but being a noob at growing anything, I have no idea. Now it seems a few of my plants have the same problem: curling leaves off colours leaves with brown marks on them - can anyone help me? I'm worried because I have a lot of ghost chilli plants and others growing there also.

It looks like aphids damage. Due to aphid infestation the leaves become yellowing or distorted and shoots become stunted.
Control
1. Squash the insects using your thumb and finger
2. Or spray strong jet of water to remove aphids from plants
3. Or spray neem or canola oil
4. And also use reflective mulches such as silver colored plastic which deter aphids from feeding on plants
