I have several over 6 ft now,that have long stems,and the plant is in the 6 to 8ft range.
I can hardly get a picture,I have to hold the camera over my head and just shoot!!!!
So If I can't see the flowers I can't smell them either.
Most of the plants have 3 growing points,on single stems of over 4ft or more,so if I make the cut halfway up the 4ft stem,how difficult getting 2 ft or more stem with 3 or more growing points to root?
Some of been in flower since Xmas ,they just keep putting out the flowers.
I don't want to cut if flowering ,but then again if I don't I won't have the summer warmth for the cuttings to root!
What say you,on what to do?
