Where are your plants? Is it too dry or hot? Make sure the compost isn't waterlogged and have a good look at the plants for any sign of pests. My pepper plants seem to be a magnet for Aphids. How about posting a pic of your plants, we might get a clue from that?I you'st to have a handle on the world .. but it BROKE!! -
What do you mean by "wilting " Millie ? Have they got their leaves all drooping down. It's been very hot and peppers react to that kind of heat with "wilting" leaves ". I'm sure they will improve as soon as they are cooler.

if its the flowers that are wilting and dying it may be over watering and could also be greenfly, i water my chilli's from the bottom just sit the pot in a deepish tray and water that way, makes for good roots.Comment
