Any tips on growing chilis as potted plants? I've got a couple that have grown well, and bloom intermittently, but don't seem to make fruit.

So I've definitely had success growing chilis in pots and containers but the key is having an incredibly healthy nutrient rich soil to get them to fruit. I'd also check your growing zone and maybe try starting them indoors so you can lengthen your growing cycle they need allot of light and heat for longer. I'd need more information to be more specific than that.

Thanks for the tips! It's really hot and sunny here, so I think I'll try fertilizing a bit more to see if that triggers anything!

If that's the case I'd be willing to bet they need nutrients!
