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.

pinching the growing tip

21 years ago

Some of my passis are just one stem which is twining around its tripod support (e.g. P. Saphire, P. serritifolia, etc..).

Should I pinch the stem to cause it to throw more side shoots? Should I wait until it flowers?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
