Holy Chop!!

After a few years I decided to completely chop back this plant.
I do yearly trims to maintain it and clear out any dead leaves etc.
It was thinning on the top and so I decided to completely chop it to the rim of the pot.
This plant had grown out to 6-7 feet long and every year I trim back to about 2 feet long.
This December I cut it alllll off and this is its progress report!
Two months later and it’s filling up nicely!!

12” pot with drainage

Baby sun roses are hands down one of my favorites!! They are relentless growers & so freaking beautiful. In a month or two I need to give mine a haircut, seeing yours makes me anxious to do it sooner 😬 thank you for sharing!
@Artistic_Stoner that’s a fact! 🀭they do grow like crazy but if I tried propagating it won’t work for me lol. Oooh excited for you! lol you’re welcome!!
@julesplants the best & fastest way I’ve propagated these was submerge the ends in water & in a few weeks i usually have roots! Hope you post another update in a couple months, I’m sure it’ll have exploded even more πŸ€—
@Artistic_Stoner for sure I will! And I tried multiple methods to prop it and nothing lol
@julesplants dang ! Well, at least the mother plant responds well to a trim & gives you explosive growth! Can’t wait to see an update, happy growing friend ☺️
@Artistic_Stoner thank you thank you!
@julesplants My favorite way to "propagate" is by division. Just dig up a decent chunk of the plant and re-pot it into a new container. Back fill the empty spot in the large pot and get it into the sun. It will fill back in very nicely.

If you pull out like 1/4 of the pot, you can split that into two or three smaller chunks and plant them all together in a larger pot, and they too will fill that pot up in one growing season. 😁
@UltraKoreanfir TRUEEEE I forgot about that! I could do that but honestly with how fast and how much this plant grows idk if I want more than one πŸ˜… I just like experimenting and growing babies lol
@julesplants I love mezzo. I've planted it outside for several years. This is the first year my over wintering is working. I just left it in it's big pot and brought the whole thing inside. It takes up too much room, but I wanted to try.
@UltraKoreanfir it’s sooo cute and it looks sooo good! Yess that’s awesome! I’m glad it worked out!!
I have one of these! I was just thinking she needs a trim! You have inspired me to give her a chop! πŸ€—
@theloveofplants yessss hahaha you’re welcome!
