A few weeks ago, i posted some pictures of my
Leucadendron "Rising Sun', and the pruning it needed. Based on the advice i got, i decided to... just go for it! If i totally screwed it up, please be kind... both the plant and I are still bruised!
The before:
 |
| a lot of lean, and a lot of ... weirdness |
There was actually an old support in there - made of metal no less - which the plant had bent at about a 60 degree angle. So that one came out.
I'm not sure that the after looks much better:
 |
| right? |
I ended up having to cut out some of the larger stems, just to get the support out. I took the advice to treat it kind of like a lavender, and cut those stems all the way to the base.
I ended up with a giant pile of trimmings:

In this picture, you can see it still has it's lean, but i'm hoping it will grow in a bit more now that it has room?
 |
| hope springs eternal? |
At least i got a nice, if simple, bouquet for inside!
 |
| poor plant! |
Hopefully i'll have much better pictures at the end of the year... fingers crossed!
Mine take awhile to recover too, Renee.

ReplyDeleteIt's a process, right? And I am so glad you're enjoying the trimmings. It would be a shame to just toss them.
