Achieves good leaf color even under poly. For the darkest color, plant should be outdoors in full sun for a few weeks. Note also that foliage color darkens as the season progresses.
Do not cut back too hard, as recovery from cuts into thick stems will be slow.
Trim 2-3 times during the first growing season; if overwintering for sale the following year, a dormant prune is beneficial.
When trimming, aim to produce a rounded plant body.
Potting a 2 ¼” liner directly into a 3 gallon is not recommended.
