    I would think it is due to lack of pollination.. That is the usual cause on indoor house grown plants.. I usually dabble mine in the poly tunnel with an artists fine paint brush to be sure and seem to always have a good crop..

    I think if you have some fruit already set its quite likely the plant is concentrating on them.
    Do I spot a bit of insect attack in the way of deformed leaves?

    Sorry I dont do facebook.

      As Pete said ,I find that Chilli plants seem to only produce so many fruits and then another lot etc. So they are produced in small batches rather than continuous fruiting. One point ,that is a rather small plant pot , I use 9" pots for mine. Probably to late to pot up now though ?
