I would say they are hotter than is optimal. Being on the floor which is even hotter could be pushing them too far. Getting them raised off the floor sounds like a good idea. I just looked at your weather forecast (Bend, OR) and it looks like a great stretch of weather for peppers with lots of sun and low 80's to upper 70's for highs although it is going to be pretty cool nights in the mid to upper 40's. I think maybe they will start to take off in the next few weeks. My super hots have been doing really well the last few weeks and we have been mid 80's and some 90's. But our nights don't seem to cool of nearly as much as yours. We typically stay in the lower 60's at night this time of year.

I raised them off the deck last night any where from 2 to 4 inches. I will be watching the ones still out there to see how they do. Right now I have cayanne, seronaoes, habenaro's and jalepaneos. I brought the super hots inside to try to get them to tokk off.

I agree with Bruce. I elevate all my container plants. Not only for the heat factor but for aeration also.

I would think it has more to do with cooler night time temps over the temperature of the deck. I would not even want to guess how hot the asphalt that my plants are sitting on gets when it's 90 to 100 degrees. I have not seen any ill effect. My ghost has about 100 pods set and my habanero looks to have twice that, also my mystery plant is small and compact but not having any issues setting pods. This is just my observation from what I experienced. I do like the idea of elevating the plant for aeration though. Don't get me wrong I may be risking something with my plants having them sit on the asphalt, but until its an issue that's where they will be staying.
