Might be watering them inadequately, missed the peak growing season, which is summer (most likely, though some are still growing) impatient or all of the above but I feel like that's the size they grow, apparently I've read somewhere that they're of the "ornamental" variety which means they're that size when they've matured, but the picture shows a bigger size. They're Thai Dragon Chilies. Unless I wait until next year to see if they grow bigger or to move them to a bigger pot.
Oh my goodness! Those are perfect! You must have a green thumb!
My grandparents call them “sili” and would occasionally place them in a bottle of coconut vinegar. They look exactly like the ones I purchased from Longwood Gardens, PA years ago (sold as Thai Dragon Pepper). These plants (dwarf) only grow about 2 feet (60 cm?) and the ornamental kind will stay small BUT do not underestimate their spicy power! I ended up having to go to my PCP’s (GP) office to get my eyes flushed. My fingers were stingy for almost a day – worse than jalapeños.
Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it! I ended up giving mine away to my aunt and they did thrive by her kitchen window for a couple of years (morning sun). They may get slightly bigger but don’t expect much. Maybe they will grow differently with compost?
My grandmother used to water her plants with rice water, lol. She calls it “hugas bigas”, which is the water used to wash rice but instead of throwing it out, she saves it in a huge bucket and uses it to water her plants. They stink – consider yourself warned.
IMO, it doesn’t look like you need help; I think you should start giving us lessons. Good luck and enjoy! They are beautiful!
EDIT: We are talking about the same thing; my aunt said it’s “siling labuyo”. I didn’t know what “labuyo” was so I had to ask.
FWIW, if you're nana is saving rice wash in a bucket over the course of days plural, that stink is literally the rot activity in the bucket. 🤢 Could be good for plants, if it's mycological, but bacterial isn't as wise... 🥲
I used to think it was a myth but apparently Rice Water can be good for plants.
The smell though… ugh. 😩 Two days isn’t bad more than that and you might pass out! She would say: “That’s the aroma of fermentation…” LOL
She's not wrong. 😅🤪🫠
