I have picked clean a couple of pepper plants (Anaheim & Serrano) I would like to see another flush of blossoms and another harvest of peppers as our warm season will be continuing on for a while.
Should I fertilize them or just leave the alone?

A higher phosphorus and lower nitrogen fertilizer may help promote some new flowers.

Usually though, they will give a nice second crop if the weather is staying right, especially in so cal. We never had an issue with peppers.

Good luck!

I was having a problem recently with low to no blossoms on my peppers, and it was suggested by one member that I mist them, or water them with some diluted epson salts.
I was about to try that when almost the next day, blossoms started to show. I don't know if this would help in your case or not....?

Thanks, maybe I will add a little bonemeal to give them a boost, but I think I really just need to be patient!
