I know, I know, but couldn’t resist. I took the pics to share and that’s when I finally saw the problem. The tips of this pepper plant are kinda shriveled and the flowers were plentiful but not fruiting.
Now I can see the aphids(?) but not sure how best to get rid of them. The plant seems rather healthy. In fact, it’s bigger than any of the previous ones I’ve grown in this container.
I don’t want to “spray them off” because I think it will do more damage. Maybe not??
Or, is it too late in the season to top this bad boy and if not how far down each branch would you clip?
I got a small harvest of poblanos earlier and they were quite good. Hate to lose it. Advice?

Insecticidal soap will help. The plant is dehydrated too.
Peppers love to be trimmed and fertilized. Don’t be shy. They will come back big and bushy with lots of fruit.
WATER. YOUR. PLANT.
