Why will my chilli plant won't grow?
My chilli plant is not giving out flowers. Even if a flower blooms it does not turn into a chilli, it dies. The plant receives direct sunlight for around 4 hrs. I water it almost every day. What could be wrong? Please advise.

Hi Sunil . Sent image is not clear and dull. Though on zooming, I think it's due to Sooty Mold or Spider Mites effect. Click on green links for checking symptoms and taking control measures from Plantix library. Also show such symptoms due to daily overwatering too. Lets check symptoms carefully. Care: Don't do overwatering and direct watering on plant. Even don't allow soil to become water logged. Make small holes below the pot to drain out excessive water from the pot. Chilli needs sunny days for flowering and fruiting well - so, make sure your pot in a sunny area away from strong winds, after good recovery. Apply good amount of well decomposed Farm Yard manure or Vermicompost along with recommended dosage of fertilizers or you can also use fertilizer calculater available here on home page of Plantix.
