I'm restricted to room in my 4'x4' greenhouse. Could I I grow peppers to fruiting stage in smaller pots than recommended? I've grown my own plants from seed and very soon will need to pot-on to 3" pots. Could I plant these seedlingds straight into a 1 litre pot and leave them to fruit? Many thanks Your Website is very informative. I’m restricted to room in my 4′x4′ greenhouse. Could I I grow peppers to fruiting stage in smaller pots than recommended?

Bigger specimens will result. It is particularly true of chillies high on the Scoville scale when, for domestic use, not so many frit are required.

But there may be a few reasons why the peppers are not developing any flowers. I think that your plant may have been grown from a sterile seed, in particular if it came from seeds that you collected yourself from another plant, possibly an F1 variety. You would need to check where the plant or seeds came from. Another possibility is not enough heat, and potentially over watering and feeding. But personally I think that the origin of the plant is likely to be the issue. It is not so easy to diagnose the problem without knowing the full history on your pepper plant.
