No fruits on my chilies

[john9159]

For years I've been successfully growing chilies from seeds bought in Morocco in the greenhouse.
This year I was hoping to get a crop of habanero/scotch bonnet chilies from three plants I have in the greenhouse but no joy.
There is plenty of growth and flowers are plentiful but they just will not set fruit. Most of the flower heads just drop off after setting.
The compost is Gro-Sure All Purpose Compost with 4 months feed incorporated.
What am I doing wrong?

When did you sow, what do the plants look like etc - photos could help. Am assuming you've given them the same care as you usual ones and fed the same?

Found this through goggle

Chilli Plant Flower Drop

PS don't think the belly trick has anything to do with keeping chilli plants

My Chillies also have no fruit. Only in the last few days have either the chillies or Peppers produce any flowers.
I've been hand pollinating them both. I still have hope I'll be seeing for fruit in the coming days.

I find that Habs always drop their first flush of flowers, how long has it been flowering? Is your greenhouse shaded? They don't like it too hot.

Mine too. There are many causes of flower drop,including excess heat, excess nutrients and lack of pollination.

Misting in dry conditions is recommended to encourage pollen to move around and stick same as aubergines (see post for references).

Habs are much mote temperamental about setting than other chillies. After a number of years I've still not worked out what it is that makes decide that now is the time to start setting...
