I have few wild chili C.chacoense plants all of them have a lot of flowers and pods except one. This one is one of the best healthy plants but no flowers. All of them are same age and same batch/same seeds source.
Thanks in advance

Is there a question here? :D
Wild chilis are quite different and unpredictable. They can grow for years without blooming, they may drop all of their leaves or start producing flowers and pods when you least expect it.
Green growth without flowers may be the result of too high amounts of nitrogen in the fertilizer or soil.
Do you have any pictures of the plants? Always nice to see wild chilis :)
Photos would also help to analyze better. Solving this issue would be more difficult without them.
Hi Feint and Toby, thank you for the question and your time. Yes, there is a question , I did not make it clear, sorry :-[.
Here are the pictures.
This one has no flower and it was the best plants so I re-potted in about 2 gallon container.

These two are in about two liters containers, all of them are outdoor plants.

Thank you again for your response :).

They all look very, very good! Is the first one outdoors too? It might not get enough light to produce flowers/fruits if it's indoors. They're all fantastic chilis, though!!
Hi Feint, yes, the first one is also outside. For photo taking purpose I put inside the room for a while.
I have other wild chili plants too such as Wild Tepin and Blue Mystery they are growing very well but I like the taste of Chacoense, the flavor and heat are good for raw eating.
Thank you again for the quick response.

Hi
Still I keep writing here :D about my wild chilies.
In fact I did not buy wild chili seeds I got them free when I have bought super hot chili seeds. I have a few wild chili plants among them I like c.chacoense most, firstly, it is compact, may be grown very big in big container, I like these slim hard fiber like stem with a lot of branches. Secondly, the taste, it is hot and very good flavor. It could be a very nice luxury item of any room.
I have Wild Tepin it is a big plant none of the pods are ripe so I do not know the taste.
I have Pequin but I do not like the taste it has a lot of seeds too.
I have Aji Chuncho, I like the taste.
I have Blue Mystery it is very prolific big plant, none of the pods are ripe so I do not know the taste yet. I like this variety too.
Blue Mystery

Now I am very interested to grow wild chili, probably I would try some in the next season.

Your wild chilis might just produce some pods -they're wild after all. They can grow with much lower temperatures than ordinary chilis.
Hi Toby, thank you for the post. I hope I will get some pods. That's a good news for me if they grow in lower temperature. I have read Rocoto De Seda also like cold climate. I started worry for the winter.

Updates of my Wild chili
:) I got a flower :) but since last two days no sunshine and getting cold :( I hate winter >:( :(
Scion
^ I don't think that flower will ever become a pod. Maybe next season then?
Ps. How about a photo of that flower? :)
Hi Toby, thank you for the post.
May be you are right, probably it won't become a pod. Here is the picture.

I don't want to piss you off or try to be inapproriate but you can and should set image's width to smaller. Then the picture won't lag on phones and tablets.

Hi Scion. You ever got any snacks from this one? Or try again next season? :)
