hi

the flowers on my chilli plant, once they start to die, are just dropping
off the plant. the stem turns yellow rather than starting to grow a
chilli,

any ideas why?

Sounds like they are not being fertilised.

Are they outside and accessible by insects
?
If they are inside you may need to do some mist spraying with water and
possibly discreet inter-species sex involving the intimate use of a small
camel hair paintbrush.
