Aren't the symptoms like that of mosaic virus? cuz i have the same thing happening to my pepper plants. New leaves are curling up and have a different texture as compared to the healthy leaves . . .

There is a mite known as Broad mite.. these mites are microscopic and cause the similar damage.. cannot be seen with naked eye...

thnkshhh. This worked for me and the leaves are straightening up now....will they return to their normal shape or will remain little distorted...

remove the most curled ones.. the new ones will become better by time..
