Chilli with flowers and no fruit!
Hi everyone!
I am quite new to gardening and this year I started with a very young chilli plant (Apache to be precise :)). I moved to this container in early May and I think it has so far settled quite nice, there are quite a few flowers and so much more flower buds to come. The problem is that the flowers keep falling down without the fruit settling. It has been outdoor and it is quite windy every now and then and I thought that should be enough for pollination, but apparently I was wrong. I also helped pollination with a fine brush and shake by an electric toothbrush with no luck! also in several occasion the stem of the flower stays and kind of dries out (see the last picture)
I am in Norway but the weather in past few weeks were quite warm most of night 14+ celsius with days around 20-25C. The setup is a self-watering container with 20L soil reservoir and 6L water (It is shared with Parsley and thai basil)
Any help would be much appreciated, honestly, I am running out options here.
