Legit question: are my plants TOO big? Discussion
Have seen several posts like this one (https://www.reddit.com/r/HotPeppers/s/uuByKV8END) of a person bringing in their 4yr old plant that looks to be about 12"-18" tall.
All of my mature plants dwarf these sizes by a couple of feet and it makes me wonder if there are pros/cons of larger vs smaller pepper plants when we're talking about plant health and productivity.
All of my plants are healthy and producing. Just curious if I should change what I'm doing or keep growing monsters.
