At this stage, the plant can be prone to root rot as it doesn’t have that mush usage of water as the flowers have already fallen.

While you are at pruning, how about you take off 5-6 inches long segments and use them to propagate new plants! This way, you can have more specimens for your home and you can take care of them till they are ready for blooms the next year!

Christmas time in my garden
Especially at this time of year the only time I only get to do anything in my garden is at the weekend. This is because when I finish work at 4pm it’s nearly dark and by the time I get home then it is completely dark and I can’t do anything outside apart from tucking the chicken in for the night.
