That way I can choose whether to have a sealed unit with the cap on or take it off and let some air in.

I find the secret is to "pinch" off the buds (shears are fine) once a month, stopping on the 4th of July. This results in a beautiful show of blooms.

I rarely take cuttings I usually just reuse the mother plant, sometimes cutting it back and letting it sprout new leaves.Melanie J Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265452434129642917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-42067945402910542132010-03-22T14:37:29.081+01:002010-03-22T14:37:29.081+01:00Interesting to read about climate and gardening di...Interesting to read about climate and gardening differences.<br /><br />I am no mum expert at all. <br /><br />Hardy mums overwinter here in the ground and are green year-round. I separate the offspring to keep the mom happy and rotund. I cut the kid's roots off below the ground and then transplant straight away into my garden without loss. <br /><br />Mums are like sedums in my garden. I only need one plant of each variety to keep the plants coming!<br /><br />CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31803386.post-90100789182049864672010-03-21T21:43:10.583+01:002010-03-21T21:43:10.583+01:00Like you I like to test things out and experiment....Like you I like to test things out and experiment. Often the advice given seems to be for show growing where you want a few enormous blooms rather than a long flowering period.
