hi I have several cuttings that I took from my hebe last year. They hava all rooted nicely but are growing straight up! I pinched out the growing tip of one and it promptly died... what should I be doing to encourage them to bush out?
Hi Jacquim - the bigger leaved types tend to be less sturdy, so it might be that you simply took too much off your previous cuttings.
I wouldn't worry about that one too much - it looks healthy, and seems to be branching out a bit at the top anyway. Over time, it will probably spread a bit more by producing more sideshoots like those
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
