This vine flower , 'Love in a Puff' was getting a little tooo long so I am wrapping it around till I can move it outside. Hard to see , I have one loop in it now.
Then I'll straighten her out. I have a trellis made and waiting.
6' vine in a 4' area
An alternative would be to pinch off the growing tips, thus forcing "bushier" growth. I've found this was the best way to control rampant vine growth in the greenhouse until I can move them outside.
I'll try that , but it has buds I'll have to work around.
I hear ya, rentman! Pinching off branches with flower buds showing is clearly cruel and unusual punishment. Had to pinch off some Stephanotis, Jasmine, and Thunbergia today. Just closed my eyes and kept repeating "it makes for more flowers later on" with each snip...
