I've been having an issue with my chili plants where they start to produce fruit, but then the fruit just stops growing and falls off when I touch it. What could be causing this? Is it related to their nutrition or my watering schedule, which is about every 3 days?

Fruits often drop when plants are stressed because growing fruit uses a lot of energy. Common culprits include temperature extremes, inconsistent watering habits, or nutritional deficiencies. Try to stabilize the environment and ensure proper care. You might need to experiment a bit to figure out what’s going on with your plants!
When peppers drop off, it's often a sign that they're ripe or getting stressed. If they're just starting to grow, you might be seeing them drop due to various factors like not enough nutrients, inconsistent watering, or not enough sunlight. For me, my Cayenne peppers are smaller than expected but still taste good! So it might just be how they're developing. Keep an eye on the conditions they're in, and see if anything changes.
