Pinching (Plants)

Pinching (plants) is the horticultural practice of removing the growing tip or flower buds of a plant to encourage branching and fuller growth. By pinching back the tips, gardeners can promote the development of lateral shoots, resulting in a bushier plant and potentially more flowers or fruit. This technique is commonly used on herbs, flowers, and some vegetables to improve their shape and yield.
