Chilli plant

[Luci]

Hi,

I'm growing a chilli plant in my kitchen (not sure what!) and was wondering,
am i meant to pinch out the top to let it bush out, or do i just let it grow?
It's currently about 2ft tall, with a fair few flowers, and a couple of chilli's on it.

I don't - I just let it do it's thang.

I have an Alberto Rocoto in the garage that seems to be doing an impression of a huge spider [lots of wide arms, not much height] but I'm just letting it get on with it. Surely it knows what to do??? As it's quite rare, I can't find any pictures of the plant during growth - lots of the plant fully grown - lots of the fruit but nothing resembling mine.

Great, thanks for those replies. Will leave it to do its own thing.
