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?

Check their ambient temperature - chillies should not drop below 20C/68F
at any time and a little more than that when they are young seedlings.
[I'll spare you the 'chilly' puns, but it's a point worth remembering.]
