Generally, there is no fixed time for topping okra, as long as the plant grows to a certain height. Usually, when it grows to 1 meter or 1.5 meter, it can be topped. The function of topping is to make the branches germinate and grow better. If you don't pay attention to topping, the plant will not only grow new branches, but also grow in vain.
It should be noted that the topping time should not be too early or too late. Too early will affect the results, and too late, it is easy to fall. Only in the right time, its ornamental and growth state will be better
When the seeded seedlings grow high, the shoots at the top of the plant should be cut off, generally from the 3-5cm position of the shoots. If we don't need to consider the method of plant shape, we can do it a little later. When the plant grows to 2m, we can do it again. If you want to watch and have results, it's best to grow to 1 meter.
If it is cultured normally, it can also be topped when it grows vigorously. If in this period, but also combined with useless pruning, can be very good to reduce nutrient loss, the rate of results will increase
