I'm just potting up my Vinca seedlings and they look strong and healthy. Does anyone know if they will benefit by pinching them back?

Oops! I'm glad no one had tips for me. I kept saying to myself yesterday when I was potting up my "vincas", they look healthy but they look like cosmos. Well after checking this morning, my vincas are not ready to pot up yet and I goofed up on the labels. Good grief!

Pinching back helps many seedlings so that they branch out so that they grow in width and just don't grow up into tall skinny flowers.
I pinch back my vinca when the seedlings have several sets of leaves... Just look for new leaves starting where a leaf meets the stem, trim back to just above that point, and they'll become healthy, full plants!

Thanks lily, my vincas will be pinched. Not for a while, they only have one set of leaves right now.
