Growing compact Kratom trees - advice on cutting/trimming?
« on: August 12, 2025, 02:55:28 PM »
Does anyone have advice how to get your Kratom plants into a compact shape?

In a 2 meter high grow tent they quickly reach the top, becoming rather long and spindly. A long strong stem without leaves or branches, then a few branches at the top, all quite lanky. Any chance to get it more into a shrub form? Even cutting back the main stem to half high just resulted in the plant pushing out one long branch from that point, instead of branching out.

How to get it to branch out more?

Maybe cut it back to a few centimeters above ground and hope that it will regrow as a shrub? Or is that going to kill it? The stem is already quite strong, about 2-3cm thick just above the soil.
