Million Bells(Calibrachoa) question
Hi everyone !
I purchased some Million Bells at a nursery . The look a little leggy . I was wondering if they can be cut back ? I got six plants for two hanging baskets (10 in) . Is that too many ? Anything else I should know about their care ? I've never had them before . Thanks ! Rosie z5 |

You can pinch them to make them fuller if you like. From this site: http://www.ecke.com/datasheets/ff_ffx_pcal.html "Pinching * Pinch out growing tip 1-2 weeks after transplanting. * Fast crop no pinching required. * Light pruning to shape plants or correct for stretch can be done at any time but will delay flowering by 3-5 weeks." You don't say what size pots you have, but I put 3 in a tapered concrete planter last year that is 12" high and 14" wide at the top and had a lovely full display that I never pinched back. http://www.denverplants.com/ezine/7_03.htm Newt
