# Hello! I am trying to grow bell peppers but every time I get them to…

Hello! I am trying to grow bell peppers but every time I get them to the flower stage the flowers just wilt. Does anyone know what I can do? I am wondering if it’s the pot they are in.

Hi are you keeping it inside? It could be that it never got properly pollinated, if you are.

Ohh I never thought of that! I think when the weather cools I place them outside and see what happens! Thank you!!

Zucchini’s are one of those plants too that have male and female flowers so having them outside where the pollinators can zip from flower to flower is super helpful.

You can also manually pollinate but bees are easier 😂

Could be overwatering. I lost a lot of buds due to overwatering in my raised bed outside that apparently doesn’t drain well lol
