Hello,

I planted a chili plant a few months back. It grew quite well, with lots of blossoms. However, none of the blossoms really turned into chili. All of them dried off the plant. I did some research and what I found on the internet mentioned that chili is a self-pollinating plant. So, I'm wondering what is going wrong with it and how I can help it. I have attached some pictures of it for more context.

Thanks,
Moh

Since the plant is inside, with no bugs, I think you will have to shake the flower for the pollen to reach the pistil or pollinate it yourself with a brush. I don't know if a fan blowing on it would work or not.

Also I would sit the plant up higher so the whole plant gets sunlight including the soil so it dries out a little quicker avoiding some fungal problems.
