Hi all! Brand new to vegetable gardening here, total novice. This is my partner’s pepper plant. It produces almost year-round (we are in San Diego, CA) and he does absolutely nothing to it or for it. I want to help it! It’s so scraggly and has browning on the leaves. Can you please suggest what I can do to help it be healthier? Thank you!

Idk about the pepper plants, as I always treat them like annuals where I live. But I can say your citrus needs some nutrients. They are heavy feeders, especially with fruit, so go buy some Jack’s citrus feed and a concentrated CalMag fertilizer and give it some love 😊
Water and fertilizer would go a long way, but this plant looks like it’s not long for this world. They often don’t come back once they look like this.
I think it’s dead. It’s a good time to start seeds
Pepper plants are annuals for me but in warm enough climates like yours they can last 2-3 years I think, has it already been going for a while? It may be on its way out then like others have said
