Fallen flowers seem like hanged

Hi everybody!

I've learned a lot here,

Another first time pepper grower question, this time is about the fallen of the non pollinated habanero flowers...

As I've learned here, habanero used to take a long time to set fruits. As of today I've only gotten just three peppers

My question is about the fallen flowers, for me it seems as the stem was hanged and therefore falls, I'd like to know if it is normal or not for the habaneros.

Here are some sample of flowers:

There are many reasons a plant will drop flowers. It can be anything from being too hot outside, to the plant being too small to produce fruit, or already have more fruit than the plant can sustain. . I've also noticed that when I move my plants around, they can drop flowers. It's not unusual for habaneros. I wouldn't be worried as long as the plant looks healthy. Good Luck!

Tim has answered the question I think. Very nice shot (Canon PowerShot SX20 IS) I like it.

Flower drop probable causes:

1. Day temp too high >95F
2. Night temp too low 85F
3. Too much nitrogen fertilizer
4. Too much water
5. Low light levels (reduces fertility).
6. Very low humidity (reduces fertility)
7. Poor air circulation (air circulation contributes to pollination).
8. Lack of pollinating insects.
9. Size of pot
1. Too much mineral in feedwater.
2. Too much grower attention/anxiety.
