Grub,
How hot is it when it dies? It doesn’t like temps above 85 F.
Are the pots deep enough? They have long tap roots.
Have you tried to grow it directly in the ground from seed? I think it does better from seed planted directly in the ground.
It needs water until established
It should get about I meter high.
Full sun is good.
It does better if planted in the fall or in the early spring.
It may not have enough fertilizer try planting in straight compost, or a 50-50 mix of compost and sandy loam.
I’m sure its something simple, big bell peppers baffle me.
Good luck.
