A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Plant Propagation Should I pinch back?

My geranium seedlings I planted - they are getting really big - and I have 5 weeks before my last frost date still, should I pinch them back for 1- because they are so big, and 2- isn't that what you do to make them bushier? Where do I pinch them back to? I'm scared!

I think you should. I find geraniums actually 'like' to be pinched and pinch mine all the time. Pinch them just above a node. Good luck.

Yes they do..

*I have to admit, I am a scaredy chicken to pinch*
but I had a friend who used to work in a greenhouse business
come over last year and help me...*

She pinched just above a node.. which is where the leaves meet the stems.

Patty, do you have any pictures of your plants??????
