Solution(By Examveda Team)

Pinching is important in the cultivation of the Carnation flower plant.
Pinching plants is a form of pruning that encourages branching on the plant. This means that when we pinch a plant, we are removing the main stem, forcing the plant to grow two new stems from the leaf nodes below the pinch or cut.
The ideal time for pinching is early morning. To get more flowers and to make the plant dense pinching is done.
