Leggy busy lizzies

Ruud

Hi

Ive just had 120 small plugs delivered, however because they are so packed together all off them are leggy.

What should i do?
cut the tops off?



thanks

... and pop the growing tips into an egg cup or water - they will root - free plants!

there isnt hardly any growing tips there. they will still be leggy cause there is to much stem

I'd complain (you should get sent more plants) and pinch out the very top leaves - probably not enough to root - just use your nails to snip off the top of the leaves. Busy Lizzies respond really well to pinching, and will bush back out nicely. HTH

in the end i got a refund
