I have a chilli plant growing in a tub in one of those pvc greenhouses.

What is the most likely reason for the flowers & stalks falling off where
they join the main stem when the peppers are beginning to form (Maybe
about
8mm in size) ?.

Lack of fertilisation, over- or under-watering, cold ....

You can tackle the first by manually fertilising with a small,
soft brush (child's paintbox variety).

Thanks Nick - I'll give the paintbrush a try.

Cheers,
