Why Does My Capsicum Plant Have Black Spots On The Plant, Doesn’t Grow Fruit But Flowers Alot Then Dies?

Posted by admin on

The black spots are probably from a fungus or disease. Ask at your local garden shops to determine what is prevalent in your area and what to use on it.
The blossom drop is probably due to a lack of pollination. That is easily taken care of by hand pollination. When the blossoms open gently run your fingertip across the inside of each blossom. This will transfer the pollen from the male pollen manufacturers to the female pollen receptors and allow fruit set. If you are growing more than one variety of pepper you need to wash your hands after each variety if you want to keep the peppers true-to-type and avoid crosses between them. If you aren’t going to save seeds for next year it doesn’t matter; the peppers from this crop will be the same as you planted even if cross pollinated.
Good luck and enjoy!
