| Hi, I'm new here and I have a hanging basket plant that has the name Columnia Golden regalia. I've searched the net and I can't find anything on how to look after it.
It has been hanging in my west bathroom/toilet window that gets sun in the late afternoon. It's bloomed once and never again and I think I've had for over a year and a half now. It has one trailing stem of leaves with little ones branching off of it at the bottom now. Can I cut it back and replant or what.... I really have no clue to gardening so any help would be appreciated. ALso, I'm in AUckland New Zealand, where it's humid in summer and can go down to 1*C at night during the winter. Right now we have just hit spring and it's 14*C around midday. Once I figure out how to load a photo I will post it here. |

| Hello JustNix - Yes - you can trim too long stems off. It will get bushier. You can stick 3-4 inch tip cuttings into the pot with soil and cover it with a baggie to keep humidity hi - they root fast and you can later put them all together with the mama plant. Are you fertilizng it? Weak solution of AV fertilizer or fish emulsion works miracles. There are many-many hybrids and species with different habits. Some bloom once a year. some need cool temperature to stimulate the bloom setting. So -if you crack the window to let some cool air in - may be it will get it. By the way - they like light - but in my experience - morning light is the best - and they do not get enough if the glass is tinted or has heavy e-coating. Something is missing in the light. Good Luck Irina |
