Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - Pruning the tops leaves from tall pepper plants

jillian · April 13, 2018

I snipped mine a couple weeks ago as well, too tall to get under lights and I can't raise them any higher. They are outside everyday now and hopefully I will plant out Wednesday if the forecast doesn't change.

Zipcode, (or anyone else that snips) all the peppers are doing great and have put on lots of new growth uniformly except for a couple. These two have only put on new leaves at the tip, many of them and in a cluster. Is this what you meant by waiting until it forks? They look odd, I hope I didn't ruin them. Yikes!
