How do you pinch an avocado plant when it grows?
Question:Like do I pinch the stem also or just the two leaves on top? How often should I prune them? Are they better off natural or should I pinch them to look like a fat bush? =]
Answers:
If you pinch off the top two leaves it will make the plant branch off in two different directions. If you pinch (prune) off the top four leaves, the same thing will happen.
You can pinch/prune it as often as you like. It is up to you. It is up to you if you want it to look like a fat bush, too.
That is one nice thing about having plants like this. You get to decide. If you try it one way and don't like it, start over and do it the other way. Either way you will still have a nice plant that you have babied and taken care of. :)
