These two chilli plants were grown at the same time from seed, one in a
plastic
pot, the other in terracotta. The plant in the plastic pot has 5
peppers and the
other has none!
Why do you think this is??
Thanks, Johnny Green Hats.

A sample of one is too few to use to draw any hard conclusion. It could be
genetic variation between the plants or some difference in the potting mix
or sun or water or some other thing. Or a combination.

Terracotta dries out quickly and it also gets very hot if in the
sun -plastic does do that as qucikly. Other than that, you'd need to give a
few more clues before I'd ahzard any guess further than those 2
possibilites.

Maybe disinfect the terracotta pot.
