Fleurisa, I'm going to go with Nut's suggestion because it feels right from a common sense point of view but I'm interested in why you're suggesting I cut them back by half? I've just paid £50 for two older plants so that I don't have to wait as long for them to grow, so what would be the point in chopping them in half?
