chilli plants

i have grown a large very healthy chilli plant and there are about 100 flowers on it , but the flowers wilt then drop off without turning into chilli peppers . why

Hi Thc, welcome to the forum


If they wilt without turning into peppers the cause of this might be not enough watering...

i have watered it correctly , not too much or little . it has never sat in water and has been fed reg , just dont know ?:

put some compost

That sounds like a good idea to me

Hopefully thc will read this (and the plant won't have wilted yet )

your chilli needs some magnesiym .......... a little epsom salts disolved in its watering will help it set fruit.

here is a tip, prick the branches with needle and u will be surprise, it will bear fruits , mine start to bear fruits after i prick it with needles...don't believe me u try..

Chilli plants grow into small to medium sized bushes from half a meter to two meters tall. How big they get depends on the species and variety.There are different species of chillies. Most chillies are grown as annuals even though they can live for a few years in warm climates.Chillis have small to medium sized, shiny, dark green leaves. The fruit, the chilli peppers, vary wildly in size and shape.Chilli peppers are green to start with. Most of them ripen to a rich red, but they can also be orange,yellow, purple or brown.

Thanks...

Don't forget that most plants need pollinators (insects) to set fruit.
