Thank you @owasco! I knew you would think it was the fairies too!

I think with these small pepper plants, the containers are too small. That might be the major issue.

Also my spirit to nurture them has depreciated due to no production. I have even flirted with taking them down entirely but I really don't want to kill them.

I might put them outside but my porch that gets no sunlight is about the safest place for them. So I really don't expect anything with these plants at this point, they're just taking up space.

It's a shame because they look semi healthy.

I could try transplanting maybe lol.
