I just let 'em be.  I tried using the tip of my finger on one of the plants
to try and jump start it, since it didn't seem to be doing much.  After it
got its first fruit, its been producing like crazy with absolutely zero
intervention from me (maybe I gots bugs in my office!!)

I only had one plant last year (a super chile) which was the one I rubbed a
finger around in the blossoms.  It is extremely prolific this year, and I
have fruit on my Red Savina, Jingle Bell, and Nu-Mex #64 with no finger
pollination at all.  I shake 'em a little when I water them, but that's all.
Really!

Do you use a small paint brush or what do you use to pollinate them? I grew 
a Red Savina inside last year but couldn't get it to bear fruit. I tried the

small paint brush thing but I guess it didn't work.:)
