Let’s talk about topping pepper plants (spoiler: we’ve stopped doing it). You’ve probably heard the old advice about snipping the growing tip off young pepper plants to encourage them to grow bushier. We used to follow that too. But over time, we’ve found that it’s not always the best approach, so we’ve moved away from it. Topping can be effective, but really only under certain conditions: if you have a long, warm growing season, you’re doing it early in the plant’s life, and you’re growing vari

Have you been hearing about gardeners topping their pepper plants? While it seems scary, it’s true! Topping is a common term used to describe snipping off the growing tip of a young pepper plant.

Topping your pepper plants, or pruning off the top of your pepper plants above a branching node while they’re still small, is supposed to cause more lower branching leading to more flowers and higher yields.

But after about one month of being planted

Should you prune your #pepper plants? This advice has been spread around for ages, and honestly - we've done it as well. But we don't anymore, for a few reasons: First, what is "topping"? It's a weirdly-phrased way to describe snipping the growing tip off of your pepper plants when they're young to force lower branching, creating more foliage and theoretically more peppers.
