Those branches beyond the Y look a tad long.
Answering a question with a question. Where would you prune? It looks like your plant has new growth on almost every bud. Perhaps a few of the areas to the right aren’t coming back as strong, but they are still showing growth. If you cut back that right branch, your plant will be unbalanced, and it is trying to grow.
I think it is looking pretty good, but I’m curious where you would cut.
Never prune a pepper. It only decreases yield. What you should do is up pot it. You’ll get your best results from 10gal or more.
If it’s stalks aren’t turning brown leave it alone unless you want to/ know how to do pepper topiary.
no let it re veg, the peppers will come back 10x bigger and you’ll have more bloom spots, I’ve had the same pepper plant for 2 years and every harvest is bigger with more fruits 🙂
