Summermist Blue that I cut back a week ago.

I cut off the drooping branches and left the ones growing upwards,
In no time at all, it grew thicker and I felt like there had been an increase in the number of trees.

Last time I left the flowers because I was sad about them disappearing,
This time, I tried to shorten everything so that you could finally see the soil from above. This will be the fourth cut back.

I think I’ll try not putting scissors in it for a while, at least two weeks, and see how it goes.
One plant in a No. 10 pot should be the appropriate amount, as it quickly becomes mushy.
It looks so cramped that I feel sorry for it and want to cut it off right away.
But hey, let’s wait and see.

So, when I looked at the official training method for the first time in a while,

・It is best not to cut back the tree drastically.

There it was (sweat).

I don’t know if this is a “drastic” amount, but I’ll just keep in mind not to mess with it.

Well, even if it doesn’t work, I cut it and put it up, so the roots are still coming out. Let’s be safe.

This article has no color, so it has nothing to do with Summer Mist, but
I’ll end today by posting a photo of a very cute gerbera that I just opened this morning.
