Ok so I picked a green pepper that was ready, but after I picked it the buds fell off and it’s not producing any more. Is there a reason?

There could be a couple of different causes to that. If they fall before opening up it’s usually related to the watering (often due to slight drought).

Thing is that I’ve watered and fertilized that just as much as I have my other green bell pepper plant. That one is doing great and has multiple flowers and peppers.
