Fertilizing
Light
Pinching is withdraw the stem tips of a immature industrial plant to elevate branching . Doing this nullify the need for more severe pruning afterward on .
cutting involves removing whole branches back to the trunk . This may be done to open up the Interior Department of a plant to let more light in and to increase gentle wind circulation that can cut down on plant disease .
