the flowers on my chilli plant, once they start to die, are just dropping

any ideas why?

Too cold, too wet, too dry. Chillis must NOT stay sodden for any
length of time, and will react that way to cold (as Alan Gould
says). I have never had any trouble with them setting indoors,
and suspect that they will self-pollinate.
