Please post some pictures. Then maybe someone can say, but I'd say more branches=more better!

The largest of my seedlings (the ones with 5-7 branches) are so dense on top that I can't get photos of all in them in one pic without removing leaves. But in these pics you can see the lower branches on the bottom and these are what I see coming out of the stem all the way to the top. I can get a pic of 3-4 of them from the "branchiest" plants.

(The white things that look like fuzzy caterpillars are pipe cleaners I used to stake some of them.)

I would keep them all! They're gorgeous!

hang tough and just keep doing what you are doing. You have got plenty of time before needing to worry about blooms. In the long run more tips = more blooms. On any given plant I would rather have 7 chances for a bloom versus 1 or 2 chances.

What's your secret?

Dunno Alex, was very surprised. They had lots of light and warmth, Foliage Pro and Pro-tekt....heat mat when they were babies. Not any different than what others here do. The seeds are Mardi Gras and Aztec Gold and read that they have "robust growth" as seedlings. I'll post another pic again in 3-4 months and show what those branches look like then :)

Hi Nancy!!!

I would definitely keep these beautiful branched seedlings alone and let them continue to branch! We often see unique branching on some of our seedlings and those tend to be my favorites!!

They look wonderful!!! :-)

Thank you Laura! They are exciting to watch grow :)
