I was just wandering how to get a reasonable crop from my plants, I have got 19 plants from a shop bought chilli which surprised me, as I thought a few would take. Thanks in advance.

Be aware that if they’re an f1 variety they may not grow true to the parent. I think the quantity of peppers you get can also depend on what kind it is, but that’s just anecdotal based on my experiences.
I’ve gotten over 100 from some of the smaller Apache varieties, and 10-20 from my scotch bonnets

The paint brush tends to get used to pollinate the flowers. I tend to use the tip of a little finger to stroke pollen off one flower and onto others because it works just as well as doing the same job with a paint brush.
You could also get a tame bee.Location:- Rugby, Warwckshire on Limy clay (within sight of the Cement factory)
