Blossom Drop???

velikipop · February 21, 2007

I have a couple of Red Savina plants that I started much too early in late October that have now blossomed and are dropping the blossoms. Both plants are growing under fluorescent lights and have been re-poted into 5 inch pots. Both also have some yellowing on the lower leaves a few which have also dropped. A companion Chocolate habanero has not shown any of these symptoms.

Would anyone know what might be causing this? I thought it might be overferilization and have flushed both plants thoroughly. Are the plants salvagable and will they produce fruit this year or should I start new plants?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Alex
