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.
So I’m guessing I need to prune a few leaves off? It is a small pot since we haven’t repotted them since buying them from the garden center. But as the other comments have already said, these are ornamental so they’re that size I guess, but I’m willing to try anything and see if they grow somewhat bigger, if not, then I’ll still be happy with it, just would need more chili varieties in the future 👍🏽
At this point, nothing you can do, and the leaves are what you leave. When the plant starts to flower, you chose what you want and trim it up.
