Hi there, I have grown a Cosmos plant from seed for the first time, now it is up 50mm I don't know whether to take the growing tip out or leave it, any help appreciated.  

Kind regards

Tony

    Hi hollie hock,they are still in deep containers that you get when buying plants from suppliers one seed per section but ready to pot on. I will do as you advise and enjoy,i did'nt think! so sowed the whole packet ! i now have an abundance of lovely (soon to be bushy) cosmos candy stripe. Thanks very much.

    If it were mine at 50 cms tall, I would chop it in half, make a plant 25 cms, it will them branch out from lower down rather than just from the top.

    Hi Verdun, i planted Cosmos Purity and Candy stripe at the same time i'm still waiting for the purity to surface ! All the rest of my different plantings have come through ok eg sunflowers two types, zinnia,gazannia,cherry toms, toms from a bought on the vine,and runner beans,so i;m going to be busy. L O L.

    Thanks Verdun i will,i totally agree with you about it being exiting,i used to work away from home only coming home once a month for two days so i never got to enjoy my garden,but i've retired this year so now am making up for lost time(alough my back is aching lol)
