Leggy Sheff. - June 19th, 2006 at 06:53 AM
I have a very large but leggy Sheff. I have had this plant for 7+ years and it is very important to me. It is in a large pot on the floor of my livingroom and everyone admires it.
I would really like to see it more full and bushy. I am very leery about cutting it back for fear that I might do it too much damage.
Question 1, should I cut it low in the woody sections?
Question 2, can I root the cuttings if I do cut them off, perhaps in the same pot?
I am not going to do anything to this plant until I feel confident that I am not going to ruin it.
Thanks for your advice. David
