Flower Seedlings that Need to Be Pinched

By living large in a small house

Gardening

Pinching isn't just for nervous gardeners! It can help your seedlings thrive. By removing the growing tip, you encourage bushier growth.

That Marigold that I'm pinching today will turn into this soon.

Think of pinching like a power move. You're redirecting energy from height to side shoots. This creates a stronger, sturdier plant with better overall health.

Herbs like basil and flowering favorites like zinnias will reward you with bushy bounty thanks to a pinch.

Pinching the seedlings that like it will reward your with an abundance of blooms

But wait! Not all seedlings like being pinched. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants are single-stem superstars. Pinching them might stunt their growth.
