Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a couple of pepper plants in zone 9 Florida that I grew from seeds. The problem even though the plants look healthy the flowers are falling off and do not turn into a pepper. I have checked the PH of the soil which is in the range, use plenty of compost I make in my bin and water. Also one of the plants is not growing. Is it still too hot? Why are the flowers falling?

When I use to live in florida it was either too hot or there was some problem with polination. I never grew peppers in florida, I grew mostly mellons for family gatherings, so i'm not complety sure but when I saw wilting I tried to shade them with cardbord if it wasn't raining.

If it was polination it was usually the neighbor killing bees with insecticide, bees ofcourse are needed to polinate the flowers, so I had to hand polinate my plants until I moved to another state. So try ways to cool things down or see if their might exsist any problems with pollination.
