My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What leaves should I remove?

21 years ago

I have a variety of small pepper plants and need some information on leaf trimming.

My plant are about 6-8" tall and include some serano, hananero and Thai Dragon.

What leaves should I remove? Why is this done? I hear it's to make the plants bushy. Is this true?

Thanks,

Mike.
