That's a pretty sight to see! So when you prune, you make the cut a little above a node... Not that mine need pruning just yet LOL. I'm just all excited because my noid (which was supposed to be something fancy but isn't) finally bloomed last year, so now I feel all empowered. I got 2 cuttings from DrD last year, and they're looking good, so I just put 2 more on hold from him. This is how it starts, I'm sure, LOL!
I'm thinking that when my "good" plumies do get big enough for trimming, I may try to graft some cuttings to my noid tree, which at least has vigor going for it. (The blooms on the noid are small, white with a touch of gold in the middle... they do have a nice traditional scent, just not the bombshell they were supposed to be.)
When I'm ready to try the grafting experiment, I'll re-read that thread here!
I appreciate the good info and friendliness of this forum.
