Okra plants do not require much pruning, but here are a few tips for pruning: 1. Cut off any dead or diseased branches to prevent the spread of disease. 2. Prune the top of the plant when it reaches a height of around 6 feet to encourage bushier growth and prevent it from becoming too tall and spindly. 3. Remove any branches that are growing too close together or crossing each other to allow more air flow and light to reach all parts of the plant. 4. Pinch off the top of the stem when the plant is around 12 inches tall to encourage lateral branching and more fruit production. 5. If you want to save seeds from your okra plant, wait until the pods have turned brown and dry on the plant and then cut them off and remove the seeds.
