Title: Q. for Amazin'.........Nicandra
Post by: star on April 18, 2008, 22:36:42: 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

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

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

Nice to see you BTW :D
