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.

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
