First time growing orange habaneros. Peppers have started growing but I’ve noticed a lot of flower buds falling off when they look like they’re starting to fruit. Any advice?

I would up pot that guy
Larger pot or put it in the ground
You can use a small paint brush to polinate them when they bloom.
I use the back of an electric toothbrush to gently pollinate the flowers when they bloom
I’m in north America and this is common early on. If this is the size you’re happy with, keep feeding and watering it when needed and you’ll be ok. However, it can get Sooooo much bigger. Get a 5 gallon bucket and go to town. Or if you want one that’s insanely productive, check this build. I used mine for YEARS until the buckets eventually disintegrated due to sun.

Al Gracian is awesome. And has a killer mustache to boot.
