    There are a couple of chilli plants in the greenhouse, about 4-5ft tall, with many fruits on them.

    The leaves are dying but the fruits haven't ripened yet.

    Can anyone advise what to do with them?

    It might be a bit cold for them. I have mine indoors and they are still bright and healthy. They might also need a bit of feeding especially if the are producing fruit.

    No point really, plant is starting to shut down with temp drop. You can still use them as green chillies and harvest them now, like peppers.

    Take them out of the pots and hang them upside down. I do it with any green tomatoes left and they do ripen eventually.

    The chillis will ripen off the plant too. I'd pick them and leave them inside in a basket to ripen up.

    What type of chillis are they?
