HELP! I cannot get my habanero pepper plant to fruit! She was flowering like crazy but everytime the flower fully bloomed it would drop hours later. it looked to me like the flowering was too heavy and therefore broke and fell. what should i do?
When the flower blooms either shake the pollen off of it or wipe it off with a q-tip. Also don't let too many flowers bloom at once, if there is 10 at once on a 6 in plant; I cut half of them off. Let me know how this goes for you, good luck

Like many members of the Solanaceae plant family, peppers require physical agitation by wind or “buzz pollinators” to release pollen from porous anthers.
0 likes If you want to do this manually like a bee would, take a plate knock some pollen off obviously not on a windy day, collect it on plate and sprinkle from one plant to the next. Buzz buzz buzz 😛
