They self pollinate…. Or do you mean you are thinking about a potential cross?

You, grab am electric toothbrush and vibrate the flowers

Just shake it a little and ta- da! They self pollinate

All sorts of bugs. Plants are really, really good at sex. They have co-opted every small thing (and many of the large things) on the planet to move their gametes around.
They’ll be fine.
Or get a paintbrush if you want to take part in their shenanigans.

Peppers have “perfect flowers” – with both male and female parts. They usually self pollinate.

use a soft paint brush if you are worried about pollination

Some (like me) would pick the flowers off until it gets plated outside.

Can I tell you a little story about the birds and the bees?

Q-tip works well.

They won’t pollinate themselves. Paint brush or insects are the key.

When I grew indoors I pollinated them with an oscillating fan.
