i am running out of room in my sunroom; would you please
discuss why or why not to cut all the foliage off a plant and
storing the parent plant vs taking cuttings vs the whole
plant...
asparagus fern - the pros i see with cutting all the foliage back and cutting back the root mass are...no mess in my sun room and smaller root mass more room for other plants in the sun room...BUT, will the plant be smaller in the spring than if i would have just not cut the stuff off?
bouginvillas - they are taking alot of room in my sunroom, again, if i cut them back am i basically starting all over and they will not be big next spring? or by cutting them back they will be hardier/heartier in the spring?
i have alot of examples ...is it a case by case situation? some wont grow as fast as the others, or will they have new energy by cutting off the exposed foliage ?
