Topic: Q. for Amazin'.........Nicandra

[star]

Havent seen Amazin around for a while, but if you're there..........the seeds you sent are now about 3" tall and look to have their first flower buds. Should they have been pinched out to encourage bushiness or is the habit upright?

They are looking pretty good  :D

Or if anyone else has a clue............................ :D

Hi star

Found this info on the net about the plant.  Folk in the UK have left comments on it too, might be worth a read :)

Oh it has been known ;D. Like an expectant mum I guess, or just a geek ::) :D ;D ;D

Thanks for the link SBG, it doesnt say about pinching out, But I guess I probably will ???

Just bumping this as I can see your online Amazin!! ;)

Coo-eee!

Sorry for the delayed response. I've never pinched mine out, due entirely to my great expertise in never getting around to things, and they've always bushed up by themselves. Either way, I guarantee by the end of the season you'll be on the Swap Shop offering MILLIONS of seeds - you have been warned!

 ;D

Excellent Amazin, thank you. I guess it will definatly be on the seed swop menu next year with all its merits for whitefly prevention  and other buzzy nasties ;D

Nice to see you BTW  :D
