Excesses that can harm the plant
For your zucchini to grow healthy and strong, it is important to remove excess from the plant. There are a few simple steps you can follow to do this.

You will also eliminate any diseases or parasites that may be present.
Pruning the plant from excess leaves
You should also remove unused male flowers from your zucchini. This will help focus the plant’s energy on the female fruits, ensuring better zucchini production.
