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.
Yeah me think the picture on the card is grown from the originating region and in a farm, so it would be larger.
So kinda like click bait? ๐ All jokes aside though, we tried one and it was really spicy for such a small thing. Read on the back of the card it's around 100,000 scoville? Whatever that means, but I'm guessing it's in the middle of the spice chart which means it "does what it says on the tin".
I love it for the quick spice, unlike cayenne which come slow and only creep in a bit later, so it's harder to adjust the spiciness. And it also fade quickly too.
Tbh I could opt for a bit more spice, probably could try growing scotch bonnet next year.
