Ghost pepper leaves are shrinking

[lonestarusa_kid]

Hey my fellow pepper heads, my name is Ronny and live in Texas...been having problems with my ghost pepper plant, flowers bloom but then fall off? also leaves shriveled but still green
and falling off, but the new branches are producing some normal sized leaves can some one please help,lol

It's probably the heat. Keep it well watered and provide some shade if you can. It should produce as it starts to cool down.

i have recently move them inside with a grow lamp, was wondering if i should prune the branches or let it be?

I would leave them be. When leaves drop it doesn't mean the branch is dead.

oh branches are not dead my question is cud those branches with the shriveled leaves be some type of disease? or staving the rest of the plant?

No, you should be fine if you keep them watered and the temp comes down. My ghost plants did this too last week when the temp was in the mid 90's. Now that the temps have fallen over the last couple days to the low 80's they have recovered and look good again. Too hot and alot of pepper plants will drop their flowers.
