Topping plants is a really scary thing to do, especially when you finally see growth, everything looks healthy and you feel like you finally got it going. Cutting the head off sounds crazy, but trust it is not. Not cutting the heads leads to tall lanky and not very fruitful plants. They stretch more then they produce. Topping them, keeps them shorter and makes them grow bushier, outward. When you cut the top off, all the other branches will fight to be the top branch, which creates a bushier fuller plant. Don’t be scared, TOP YOUR PLANTS, WATCH THE DIFFERENCE!! • Thank you to @frecklesandsprouts from TikTok for this amazing content. • Please give frecklesandsprouts a follow on tik tok.
You can also place back the plant indoor without pruning, but from experience, your plant will lose many leaves and may be attacked by pests such as aphids. Pruning also helps to put the plant in winter sleep mode. Overwintering your pepper plants will allow you to have harvests much earlier next year. But make sure to only put back the plant outdoor after your last winter frost and when temperatures at night are not cold (above 12C/53F)(CREDITS.. thefrenchiegardener)
