Pinching of Marigold Plant To Get More Flowers and Bushy Plant
Pinching (or pruning) is a highly effective technique for achieving a fuller marigold plant with more blooms. By trimming the main stem, the plant encourages multiple new branches, each potentially bearing a bloom. Let’s understand why pinching is important for marigolds and how to perform it properly.
Why Pinch Marigold Plant?
1. 🌼 To Encourage More Blooms
Pinching promotes the growth of additional branches, and each branch can produce a bloom. This increases the overall number of flowers on the plant, making it more vibrant and attractive.
2. 🌿 To Maintain a Bushier Plant
Pinching makes the plant bushier and more spread out, which adds to its visual appeal in the garden. A denser structure also makes the plant stronger and healthier.
