they'll make peppers when they're ready, dont pick the flowers or anything.

Thanks for the reply. I should have added in my post that the flowers drop off on their own but no fruit develops in their place. I'd say there are about 30 flowers on each plant, yet only 3 or 4 will result in a pepper. Thanks again.

yeah, they drop them when the temps arent right, perhaps put the plant in a partial shade spot to see if that allows them to develop more?

my hab is flowering well, and gets direct sun from morning up till noon, then again around 5 or 6pm.

it's setting well. perhaps yours are just too hot.

Sounds like it is too hot for them... partial shade has done wonders for the development of fruit for my peppers and tomatoes. The best way to aide in the pollination is just to gently tap the flower... this should adequately get the pollen where it needs to go. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your replies. I think you are right in saying my plants may be too hot. They get full sun from about 10 am until 6 pm, and in south Florida to boot. Since I posted this, they have put out lots more peppers but I haven't moved them yet since I don't really have a part shade place for them. I only have a screened in patio and every spot on it is in the sun. They're very healthy and growing quite huge so I guess they aren't too unhappy. Thanks again,
Lynne
