Pinch ivy geranium seedlings?

Posted by kellianne 6B SE PA (My Page) on

Hi, all. I started some ivy geraniums (Summer Showers and Tornado) from seed this year and they have sprouted and have their first set of true leaves. My question is, would they benefit from being pinched, and if so, at what point?

Thanks so much!

Hello...Make sure the stem or tip cutting has at least 2-3 nodes (where the leaf emerges) and after you cut, make sure from the mother plant you leave behind 2-3 nodes so it can continue to grow.

what do you mean by nodes is it after 4 true leaves that we pinch.

thanks
