I kept brushing them every two to three days for about a week. It's worked okay. Welcome to the site and good luck with your chillies, I hope you return again soon. Miles Helen,

My bhut jolokia's have only just begun to fruit even though they have been full of flowers for some time now. Just try and keep them warm and damp down with a spray of water. They should come good eventually. I shall be posting an update on the naga jolokia plants shortly. Let me know how you get on Miles Guy,

Any advice on how to get the flower buds to open? Very much enjoying the anticipation! My other chillies, 'super chillies' are throwing fruit out all over the place. Hope you are having more success. Thanks for all the advice. Guy Hello,
