My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
A Pride of Madera plant came up volunteer in my yard. I think it's had too much water, because when it bloomed it became very top-heavy and the spikes tipped over. Even with staking it looks twisty and bad. I'd like to cut it back, but how far down the spike do I snip it off?
Sunset WESTERN GARDEN BOOK says "Prune lightly to keep bushy" and "Cut off faded flower spikes" so it sounds like you don't want to cut back too far. Try working in from the tip, quitting when the branch becomes no longer weighted but before you run out of leaves.
