pointsettia drying up after pruning
hi there,
i tried pruning away the leaves from my pointsettia left over from christmas. the plant consisted of 5 stalks with large leaves (green/red) at top and some small buds lower down. i made the cuts around an inch higher than each bud. the buds developed into leaves 5mm across while the incision points started drying up. now a month later the "drying" has progressed an inch downward along the stalk, and shrivalled the new leaves too. only 1 stalk still has leaves. these have grown a bit. what went wrong?should i have made the incision higher up? did i amputate too many of the original leaves and maybe the plant went into shock? thanks, Sam |
