SOIL To tie or not to tie

[Stargazgal]

Hi. New to this. Been nice and hot. Planted in pot. Leaves are healthy. I topped it already. Should I tie/bend some of the leaves now?

Yes tie and bend before flowering if it is possible.

I'm assuming you mean branches and not leaves but yeah, she would probably benefit from a little training now. Go easy to begin and the insides will fill out and you'll get some new branch growth. As the plant begins to develop you can adjust your staking. I don't know the composition of your containers but I simply drill holes in the top rim of my containers to fasten gardeners tape. The plants will take on a whole new dimension once training takes place.

It would love a bigger pot too.
