Hi, I have a pepper plant growing, it is not very tall at all. It's about 1 inch tall. It is one plant and it already formed two branches coming out from the main branch, I am wondering if that is a good sign or bad, should I prune it? I've heard that it's not good but I'm not sure.

Thanks Henry

Did the growing point get pinched off or damaged somehow?

I've been giving it a lot of light, it's been under a grow light. The variety is called Brazilian starfish peppers. It is a mild hot pepper

I've tried one of those peppers before. Very cool looking pods, heat is similar to a jalapeno.
