The secret to getting the longest stems from your zinnias is pinching them when they are young. Here's how it's done: When plants are between 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30.5 cm) tall, take sharp pruners and snip the top 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) off the plant, just above a set of leaves. How many times can you pinch zinnias? When they do so the plants sprout new stems, grow stockier, and have more flowers than they would otherwise. When your zinnias are six inches tall, pinch off the growing tip with a thumbnail. The plant will produce two stems at that site. Each stem can be pinched again when they're six inches long. What can I do with leggy zinnias? Renew leggy annuals and perennials by cutting back about half of the stems 2/3rds of the way to the base now. When those stems grow back and begin to bloom in about two weeks, cut back the remaining stems the same way _______________________________________________ 🌏 You can find or support me at any of these websites: 🌏 💇‍♀️Amazon: https://amzn.to/3eiMdzR 👍 Garden Blog: https://PicketFenceGreenhouse.info ✔ Ebay Store: https://www.ebay.com/usr/homengardenpicks ❤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DianeMummGardenVideos Being a Amazon Associate , your purchases help to support my passion, and continued garden content .
