Default Chilli flower buds

The message
from "Crundy" contains these words:

Hmm, the flower buds on my dorset naga chilli plant are shrivelling up and
falling off the plant before they've got anywhere near opening. I know the
two main reasons for flowers falling off are non-pollination (which isn't
the case as they haven't even opened) and lack of humidity. I've been
spraying them with water a couple of times a day but they are still
dropping
off.


Where are you growing them, and in what?

Any ideas? I hadn't fed it for a while, so I just did that. Could that be
the cause? The rest of the plant looks very healthy.


No.
