Hi all. I have a chilli plant which is about 6 inches tall. I have noticed that from about 6 every night it starts to droop and look ill but the next day its looking great. Is this normal? Its on the kitchen window ledge and gets plenty of heat and light.

Is it getting plenty of water?

Yes I never let it dry out. I have also fed with chilli plant food.

my chillies seem to benefit from not watering too much.once watered let them dry out till they" ask"for some more.

i wouldnt feed it till the flowers have dropped off and the chillies are forming also.if its in a sufficient sized pot with good compost it shouldnt need feeding till then.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll try not watering so much and see what happens.
