    Have grown some healthy looking chrysanths from seed...do I need to pinch out the growing tip to encourage bushiness or not on these?
    Thank you !

    Hi Red, it all depends on what type of Chrysanth you are growing. If it`s a spray then pinch it out, but if you are growing a big flowered type then you need to limit the number of shoots it produces. David.
