Pruning chili peppers for the winter is a simple procedure that should be carried out when there is insufficient light and heat in the autumn-winter period. Simply put - if your pepper is withering and behaving strangely, the leaves are drying out or falling off - then you need to prune the pepper in the fall. Moreover, pruning peppers rejuvenates the plant and makes it more fertile, the harvest will ripen faster.
How to prune: leave the first and second forks exactly, I left even more, up to the third and fourth. You can see it in the movie - and so it seems normal. I just cut with nippers, in my opinion it makes no difference what to cut with, we are not grafting it.
But there is a nuance here. From the cut branches, you can try to grow a new pepper - that is, by cuttings. Then the cut must be made sharp, like a rose, so that it lasts a long time.
And these cut branches should be placed in dark vessels with water! This is not magic, it's just that the roots grow slowly, and algae will appear in the light! To avoid this, you need to take a dark container!
Well, after pruning, our chili peppers need to be put in a cool, dark place - otherwise, they will sprout very quickly, and all your efforts will go to waste! Or you will have to organize the correct powerful additional lighting with phytolamps. Water occasionally and very little! So that the roots do not dry out.
That's all there is to it. As we can see, autumn pruning of peppers is necessary and simple. Pruning chili peppers for the winter is a cool and useful procedure!
