Pinching Snapdragons (Plus How to Take Cuttings) // Cottoverdi

In this video, I’m showing how and when to pinch out snapdragons to encourage stronger, bushier plants with more flowers later in the season. If your snapdragons are starting to look a little tall or leggy, this simple step can make a big difference—and it’s very easy to do. I’ll show you exactly where to pinch, what stage your plants should be at, and what happens afterwards. I’m also using the pieces I remove as cuttings, so you can grow even more plants from what you take off. It’s a small job, but one that really improves how your snapdragons perform over the summer. If you’re growing snapdragons this year, this is a great job to do right now.
