Prune Tomato Plants

Tending Your Garden
Pruning to Control Horizontal Spreading
(Ongoing)
To optimize the growth of your
tomato plants and ensure strong
plants and bountiful harvests,
you’ll need to occasionally
prune branches that are growing
outside the reach of the
Lamp
Hood’s
lights.
The picture at right shows a bird’s
eye view of plants that need
pruning.
The circled branches
hang too far over the edge of the
Grow Surface
and do not receive
enough light from the
Lamp
Hood
to be productive.
Use scissors to cut branches
that hang over the edge of the
Grow Surface
. Make your cut
so that the branch is even with
the
Grow Surface.
The photo at right shows the
same Garden after pruning. The
branches no longer hang over
the edge of the
Grow Surface.
Note: You don’t need to
remove the Lamp
Hood to prune
your plants.
