Help! Chillies flowering...

[Kimbo]

I also find misting helps the flowers set to fruit

Ahhh that's good then because I've been spray misting them every day.

Chillis are self pollinating. You could completely seal the whole thing in plastic so no insects went anywhere near it and it would still set fruit. Having said that, using a paint brush or letting a million flying insects at them won't hurt either. Either way the fruit will set (as long as the environmental conditions are right).

Could you tell my chilli plant (the one from last year) that. Flowered for months, with nary a fruit to be seen (I was hoping it'd stop flowering so I could repot it). Got bored of waiting for it to stop, went around with a cotton bud giving it flowersex, I now have over 25 chillis growing.

I think it needs a birds and bees talk...
