|
|
I have a pepper plant in my plastic house. It is producing flowers but when the flower dies back instead of producing fruit it dies and drops off.
Has anybody any idea why? |

Sounds like it's not getting pollinated. There must be no insect life in your plastic house to pollinate between the different flowers so you could try using a really soft paint brush to pollinate between the different flowers yourself... |

Thanks for that. I think you are right as the plant is very healthy looking. Just gave the flowers a little tickle. |
