555 reactions · 39 shares | Have you recently picked up calibrachoa, petunias, verbena, or other annuals at the garden center? Annuals bought at garden centers are usually living indoors this time of year with indirect light levels to keep them protected from cold weather in the spring. So, when you bring them home and plant them, often they have stretchy stems and growth. These Superbells 'Cherry Star' from @provenwinners came home with this stretchy, leggy stem growth that we don't want. These stems need to branch out and fill in the pot so we need to train them by pruning/pinching them back a bit and sacrifice their blooms for a couple of weeks. Watch as Sean shows you where to make your cuts and what to expect next. Btw, we created some beautiful planters full of Superbells calibrachoa.

P.S. We thought this video would be super timely to repost again this year right now since it's Spring and you are probably out buying new plants anyway! #calibrachoa #springgardening #containergarden #gardentips #summerbloomers #hangingbaskets #plantsandflowers #gardenyoutubers #spokengarden | Sean & Allison McManus | Flower Lovers | Garden Care Teachers | Facebook

Rather than these baby plants focusing all their energy on their big heavy first flowers, they can refocus the energy on roots and leaves and even the new buds waiting in the wings. .
