My pepper plants are getting quite tall in my greenhouse. I was wondering do you pinch out the tip to stop them growing toohigh! Any other hints welcome. Thanks

Pinching out the tips of most plants encourages them to branch laterally. Give then support with a stake each so the fruit wont pull them over.

Put in horizontal supports and train them around the glasshouse

Remove the first flower or fruit that grows at the first junction.

Many people pinch out the central leader growth when peppers get to 250-300mm high as a standard practice.

I read recently spraying them with a magnesium solution will boost fruiting. Going to try it when mine are big enough to start flowering.
