| My light pink NGI are too tall for my liking. Can I cut these back to encourage a bushier plant? |

| As long as you leave some foliage on the stems - ie, don't pinch bach to bare stems. |

| Oh yeah you sure can cut them back & they pop up all over again, I have had just about every colour NGI & they respond well to the CHOP. I take them down to the stem & they seem to just love it. |

| ......and don't forget to plant the prunings! |

| You will get a bushier BIGGER plant. Mine keep on increasing in size and this year have to be moved. I didn't realise how well they would go. Never stop flowering, literally! |
