No,it does it by itself! Just keep it fed and watered and damp down the floor in hot weather.

Do peppers like to be misted as well? I can't remember!

I think misting is more for Aubergines.
Things you can do to improve your pepper pollination rates include:
- Giving plenty of access to insects (open doors and maybe other flowers to attract more insects in)
- A daily tap on the stems, to shake down the pollen
- If you're keen, manual pollination with a paintbrush.
