Why A Pepper Plant Won’t Produce Flowers Or Fruit

By Amy Grant I had the most gorgeous bell peppers in the garden this year, most likely due to the unseasonably warmer summer in our region. Alas, this is not always the case. Generally, my plants set a couple of fruit at best, or no fruit on the pepper plants at all. That led me to do a little research on why a pepper plant won’t produce. Why a Pepper Plant Won’t Produce One reason for a pepper plant with no flowers or fruit may be the weather. Peppers are warm season plants that thrive in temperatures of 70-85 degrees F. (21-29 C.) during the day and 60-70 degrees F. (15-21 C.) at night. They need a long growing season with at least six hours of full sun. Be sure to wait for the soil to warm in the spring after all chance of frost has passed in your region
