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.

It looks so cute! Like it just grew the right size for that pot. That is a lot of peppers for one plant.

I just now planted peppers for our dry season, always thought of them as slow growing but one of the bell pepper plants was already flowering so into the ground they go.

I have a tiny red chili keychain that looks exactly like that.
