Where our green house is. It gets a LOT I mean a LOT like 11-12 hours of sunlight a day. Oh my husband has just a told me I've been reading my temp monitor wrong lol the lowest temp it's been since we got it is 1.5 ( we got the green house in April) and the hottest it's been is 50c
Zoomer we that's exactly what I do. But hubby and me work long hours and I don't like leaving it open when I'm not here or his not here. So during the week we just have the vent open. then when I get in I go and open the door too
Did you buy it last year or this year? It does look like a chilli,but it has been overwintered. It does not look too happy though. As others say above 30C is not good,and below 10C is bad too. I would make sure the pot is big enough, add some blood fish and bone on top, and regulate the T better..oh and feed with dilute tomato feed, not too much. My overwintered Rocoto is covered in branches and flowers.
We brought it last month. It was in a nursery in a green house. Will keep an eye on it. We recently reported it and feed regularly with vegetable feed. Thanks for all ur help ????

50C is way too hot, even for a chilli - no wonder it's feeling a little poorly - and temps that high will cut the yield down too.
I would try to keep the temperature around 30C. You'll need to organise some shading and ventilation.
What are your minimum night-time temperatures in the greenhouse now?

Are you opening the door and vents in the GH. This will bring down the temperature.
Increasing the humidity will also bring it down. I watered the gravel path in mine today and the temp dropped by 5 degree's.
Also closing the door, early evening as the temp starts dropping will keep some heat in the GH over night so the temp doesn't drop so low.

If the temperature is going that high then you are going to have to have the door open during the day, whether you're at home or not.
The chilli doesn't care whether you're at home - it just needs suitable growing conditions.
