chillies not fruiting?
« on: June 17, 2012, 22:34 »
My husband decided to grow some stuff and is growing chillies from seed.  The plants are all doing great but his Demon Reds are flowering like crazy but dont produce anything?

Are you supposed to nip them like toms?  I noticed this is the only kind of chillies that has a flower in the fork..

When I grow chilies inside with no pollinater I have been known to tickle the flowers with a feather. Always had good results. I don't know your type, but I've never pinched out to aid fruitung, only with young plants to stop growing too big and promote a nice bushy shape to encourage more flowers.

It's not being overwatered or needing repotted is it?

You can nip the tops out to make them bushier

They get pollinated even in the greenhouse.  Well mine do as I don't use any sticky traps and such like as I want bees, hoverflies and wasps in there  :)  I've got marigolds and calendula in there to encourage them
