Hello there,
Are you over watering perhaps? this happened to me, though the flowers dropped off as they were just buds never mind flowering. I dropped the watering back to twice a week instead of three times a week and they set better. I've been told that's quite common with Orange Habaneros though.
Also, how much are you diluting the feed and how often are you feeding?
:o)

Hi Jiggy

Thankyou so much for replying. Over watering could be the case. I water it 3 times a week. I will try to cut down the watering from now on.

I have only fed it once since I got the plant which was few days ago and the reason I fed it was because the flowers keep falling off and I thought it was because it needed feeding. I planned to feed it once a week. I follow the instruction for the tomato feed. It says 20ml in 4.5 litre water. I gave the plant about a capful of the bottle. Do you think this is enough or too much?

Many thanks again for replying. :o)

You should be feeding high P and K and low N stuff for fruiting.

What was the NPK (numbers on bottle as in: 10-10-10) ratio of the fertilizer you used?

Hi Willard3

Thankyou for you reply. It says on the bottle 4 - 4.5 - 8. What do you think?

That sounds like agloflash

One feeding is all you need..

The suggestions above are good. And also, the change from wherever it was before to its new location in the house could cause blossom drop.

Don't assume that, because the plant dropped some blossoms, it will drop them all. My chiles in the garden dropped a noticable amount, but most remained and matured.

Thank you so much everyone for all your replies. Such a friendly lot. I have lerned so much by just posting one post. Thanks again.

I believe you have a pollination problem. I had a pepper plant start in a pot in my office at work. It started in a pot containing an agave plant as a result of "composting" pepper seeds from my lunch. It produced flowers which fell off in a couple days and did not produce peppers. I realized there are no bugs in the building (at least of the pollinator variety- flys, bees, butterflies) to pollinate the flowers.

I grabbed a paperclip, straightened it out and started manually pollinating. I gently move the clip inside the flower touching pistol and stymen while holding my hand under the flower to catch falling pollin. I rub the clip in the pollin on my hand and repeat on the next flower.

I am now enjoying homegrown peppers grown on my desk at lunch.

i have the exact same problem but my pepper is grown in a hydroponic dwc system. for the last couple of weeks i have been testing different phs and differnt fert % but the flowers still fall off after a few days. anyone ever grown in hydroponic or know what could be a problem? i was thinking that it could be the lighting, but when i read that JMaxx grew in an office i knew that that could not be the problem. And as for them not being pollenated i tried to use my finger to rub pollen in the inners of ever flower and that never seems to help them either. like i said i am at a loss as to what to do.

If there isn't enough humidity your pepper flowers will fall off. I grow mine indoors and have had to buy a humidifier. Hope that's helpful

bequita91: Do you realize you replied to a 7 year old thread?

I didn't at the time of posting, while looking for tips myself! stopped myself from going further with more pepper tips haha

Flower drop probable causes:

1. Day temp too high >95F

2. Night temp too low <65F or too high >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

10. Too much mineral in feedwater.

11. Too much grower attention/anxiety.

9. Size of pot

Could you explain? All the other points say too much/too low etc., but this one is quite ambiguous.

Size of pot is too small making plant potbound.

That could be an issue, but my plants at badly root bound right now and flowering well. They even have several peppers on them as well.

Maybe if the OP posted some photos, it would help a lot.

You do realize OP posted over 12 years ago?

@esox07 (4b) Wisconsin: now that is a long time to wait for the final punch line, but hats off to you, that made me laugh out loud.
