Have no place to let runners start new plants. Will cutting runners off encourage blossoming...or no affect? Quote \| Reply \| Edit \| Delete \| Report Quote \| Reply \| Report

Sort of like the "airplane plant?" I'll have to ponder this. Maybe someone else with more experience with this could answer. Quote \| Reply \| Report
