I also have the problem of my capsicums rotting before they ripen. Plants are healthy and fruit is large and healthy but they take ages to ripen and then seem to rot before the process is complete. Any advice??
I have the same problem. I have been advised that they like potash once a week so that may also help them to ripen
I am going to try garden lime, Epson salt, tomato fertilizer and fish fertilizer as per the following video and see how mine go.

Some of my My capsicum leaves are turning brown on the edges & dropping off. I have fruit in the tree that don't seem to be affected yet. Any suggestions on what could be causing this.
Hi i have read somewhere this is due to inconstant watering and that the plant is not able to absorb something???? It may be calcium I think, and that you need to add agricultural lime to the soil, I think its called blossom end rot
