RE: The chilli-stem falls off after blooming

Posted 427 days ago

judging by the people who saw this i doubt they know anything. i think you did the best thing. though have you saved the chilli seeds just incase something like this happens again.

though what i do is i regrow chilli seeds and chuck the old tree out and plant the newly grown one as i can get good crop aka 1kg of chillis on one tree. though to do that i added alot of blood and bone to the soil

The flowers fall off when you over water. I had the same issue when growing chillis. Once they start to flower, only water once per week until the chillis starts to grow. One of the plant that this was happening to now has about 30 chiils growing now.

Good luck.
