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.


Luckily you didn’t get the same results are this guy over on Reddit a while back:

Oof, that guy’s chilis became more rounded lol, yeah luckily is the key word here. Still probably taste the same anyway.
Those in the photo are actually perfectly fine. The naming of these gets pretty convoluted and has a lot of regional variation, but these look to be “chiltepin”/“bird’s eye”.
I thought the point was they don’t look like the variety (Thai Dragon) as pictured on the label indicates they should.
I’m talking about the Reddit pic; the Lemmy OP’s are definitely on the smaller side compared to what they could be, but should taste and cook just fine.
I was too - at least OPs are the right aspect ratio 😅
