Hi guys, after reviewing a bunch of posts on the subject over the last few weeks I'm running out of ideas and hoping someone can see something that i'm doing or not doing here.
My Dorset Naga plant is about 4 months old, it's currently in a 70L bin - the soil is about 1/5th sand, some compost and regular potting mix. The temperatures in the last few weeks were about 8-12C at night to about 30-35C at daytime (I have conflicting information but it seems that this might be too high).
I water it every few days as required, every 7-10 days I feed it some 4-8-7 (http://sog.shopau.biz/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=55&products_id=1446).
I have also recently pruned the side branches which were overhanging a lot but am letting it grow upwards. It's got a lot more new buds growing. It's about 3.5 feet tall from the edge of the pot to it's highest point.
There is a fan in the greenhouse which is moving the air around and I leave both the window and the main door open during the day which provides plenty of breeze, and allows bees get in there.
The flowers are dropping dailiy, a lot of them have been pollinated and I can see very small fruit set but they all fall right off. There mustve been at least 100 flowers that have dropped but there are still 200-300 more and still growing.
The only thing I can think of is to move it outside as the air temp outside never goes above low 20s at the moment, even middle of summer we won't get anywhere near 30C. Unless there are any other ideas? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
