Hi AdotKarl, chili peppers are self pollinating (each flower contains both male and female parts). However, they sometimes need a little help with getting the pollen to fall into the ovary of the flower (especially if the area humid). A gentle shaking of the plant can help the pollen fall into the ovary. Most likely, your problem is over fertilization and/or container size. Too much nitrogen in your fertilizer is detrimental to fruit production. Also, chili's need a lot of sun to produce properly.
