 Here are some coreopsis cuttings I took this summer . They`ve all rooted well ,but I`m worried that they`re all leggy, can I re-pot them lower next time ,or will that be harmful to the plants ? The parent plant has been really special this summer ,and I would hate to loose it this winter . Thanks Wendy.

    I should think they'll die back in winter and start from the base next year. You can pinch them back as they grow

    I'd leave them unless they're pot bound. Edd?

    I think more plants die of over watering than they do of under wateringimage
