This is my Jalapeño pepper, she is 60cm tall, germinated 09/30/2025, and keeps aborting the flowers before even fruiting. How do I fix this? I water it when the surface dries out and fertilize it with liquid 7-20-10 NPK.

Is there a fan in the room with the plant? Are you pollinating the flowers by hand? How?
What size pot is that?
Have you checked the roots for root binding?
How are you watering? From the top or bottom?
Are you checking below the surface for watering? How far down?
How often are you fertilizing?
Sniff the bottom holes of the pot, please. Any odors?
If you would please answer all of the questions…I think we can get this problem fixed for you.
It could be due to to nutrient deficiency. What sort of soil are you using. I think tomato fertiliser like Tomorite works well if that doesn’t help move it to bigger pot, is that a 5lt pot?
It could also be due the weather, what temps do you keep it in?

Are you making sure the flowers are getting pollinated? Like are you shaking the plant or gently tapping the stems with flowers?
