Give them a thorough soaking, but then let it get fairly dry before

I've just noticed that your chilli is in rather a small pot. You'd get
more chillis off it if you pot it on to something rather larger, so it
can grow a bigger root system. Also it would retain moisture for
longer.

I haven't seen the pot, but no matter what the size is (echinosum is
right in that you will get a larger yield from a larger pot) you may
also want to paint it black to increase its thermal absorption. Perhaps
a tomato arbor with plastic sheeting pulled over it until the weather
improves. Be sure to allow for ventilation, so that the plant doesn't
get too hot ( 90F/32C) The top half inch of the potting soil should be
dry before you water. If you should happen to have some hot weather,
definitely don't let it go dry.
Too much water, and fertilizer, and the plant will think it still has a
long time to go before it needs to make seeds, and won't set flowers.
