Morning Glories: Overwintering morning glories question, 1 by evr

as I've been mentioning before, I had the opportunity to use halide lights. I was very limited in space so I've decided to use the Aquarium also (this space is mainly for identification of bloom colour leaves etc). I was still very limited in horizontal and specially vertical space, but I think I will keep trimming the mgs so that they won't grow as tall.

Speaking of trimming/rooting, I accidentally broke off the tips of Xiong's and I just put it beside the "mother" plant supported by the bamboo stake. Didn't pay much attention to it but it's growing =D. I also think that by trimming and keeping your plants shorter than usual, they expend their energy more on creating blooms (shorter time?). I have another Xiong's that I did not trim and it takes longer for the buds to form and they were pretty small. Trimming and a shorter time for the flowers to bloom I think is good for me, since I just want to see what colour the blooms will be, not for seed production.

This is the aquarium with the halide lights shared by my hoya cuttings that just fell 9 feet from the wall =(. Currently tending to plants that got damaged.......
