Is it a red variety, or meant to ripen green?
It's only when they are fully to over ripe that it can be an issue.
If they are supposed to turn red, and are still green, let them go longer.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . pepper plant problem I am growing a few pepper plants in pots in my backyard. after growing a few really nice sized peppers, my plants seem like they don't want to grow any more. the flowers on them open up for a couple days, but before any pepper can begin to grow out of it, it shrivels up and dies. i haven't had any new peppers start growing in weeks. any ideas?
