Hiya,
So this is the Eldemore topic for anything and everything to do with plants. Feel free to post anything you want about plants, facts, questions.....etc.
(WIP)

It resembles the early stages of an urban mushroom called 'Japanese Parasol/Umbrella'. (:

My parents say it makes the plant have more flowers and that it's a great idea basically. But we planted a load of sweet peas earlier this year and i nabbed one and have refused to cut the top off it. And it is growing amazingly it's massive and lovely. (And isn't that the point?) The others are tiny in comparison, though yes, mine is on my windowsill and the others are elsewhere.
Dad also said the point of chopping the top off is to stop it growing up and make it grow outwards, but that's a load of rubbish too, as mine has got a lovely pair of stems growing out each side.
I'll try and get a photo later.
Hellooo!
My name is Silverhart and I am here to collect pets, draw fanart, and geek out over Eld related things. And all while simultaneously searching for the truth behind the very many excellent questions. I am a stamp enthusiast, a loyal minion to my Lord Sullivan, partaker of muffins, and a shipper of apologies.

Actually that's completely true. Pruning a plant will help it produce more flowers/fruit/branches. Here's an article that can explain why.
You just have to make sure you're cutting it correctly. ^^ There's tons of sites online that can explain it (Like this one), and even done incorrectly it rarely harms the plant in the long run.
