Hi All, I have a couple of potted chilli plants which have been fruiting for a while, but they are growing but are staying green. They then keep flowering and fruiting more and not putting the effort to ripen the existing chillis.

Any tips?

Like the others have said, the ripening takes a long time. As long as the plant isn't dropping the fruits or they are rotting before ripening I would just wait patiently :)
