If you look in the background there are a few big ones on the table, with a key lime next to them as well. Cheers!

As soon as I saw any flower buds forming I started watering it like crazy from that point on. But not until I saw noticeable flower buds all over.

@@steelcitygreenthumbyes it works. I starved it for 3 weeks and leaves started to curl. Watered it good and a few days later, buds are out.

Do you mean that it is the same plant that has been alive for 7 years? If so, that is probably what is happening because it has reached the end of its life cycle. If it's a case that you have been growing from seeds from the same plant for 7 years, then it could definitely be something otherwise.

@@steelcitygreenthumb ye, 7 years alive and never harvest a fruit from it. always dropping all flowers.....sad

​@@EmilDragonuloh, it has never produced any fruit? That is definitely strange. Especially if it has stayed alive for this long and produces flowers every season.

There is a very good chance that they will. I have a few peppers that I'm going to be trying to crossbreed that I have kept very separate from everything else. Otherwise, the only way that you would ever know would be planting the seeds and letting them grow through next season. When cross pollination happens, it's never in the actual peppers that grow on that plant. It is the seeds inside that contain the cross of the genetics.

I had them in my basement under grow lights. Kept most of them active throughout the winter, but just enough to keep them alive and going. Only pushed a few to the point of actually flowering and producing fruit.

Just remember that stress is the trick. I read a few things that suggested you could do the same method with very minimal water. I went the route that I did, completely dry, because the plant was already very healthy when I started. You want it to think that it is in danger of dying, not actually dying. Good luck!
