My flowers on 1 jalapeño plant are withered and falling off the plant. The leaves and stems are healthy. Any suggestions? I searched by picture but it is a jalapeño plant. Lol! I already know that.

Keep waiting, a jalapeño should start growing from under the flower!

What kind of temperature have you been getting? Fruit set suffers above 95°F. If it’s staying pretty hot at night (above 75 or so), you might see blossoms dropping even if the rest of the plant is perfectly healthy.

The petals on my other jalapeño plant fall when it's starting to fruit. This one though, the petals get brown and drop. It has not produced any jalapeños and both were planted at the same time.
