Can you help me troubleshoot my hot peppers?

Might be lack of water.

Thank you!

Are they still ok to eat?

They need yo be picked before they shrivel...it either overripe or heat or not enough water causing this.

Probably not enough water. Safe to eat but I wouldn't

Hi there yes you can take them off the vine I live in a hit country and we do this .Try this in your kitchen .even when they are dry you can still eat them They look very pretty in a kitchen .Just soak in warm water and then cut them open and remove the seeds and put in sauces .Good luck
