We all probably know the situation: you have a beautiful blooming bush that suddenly forms runners. This means that new shoots appear next to the actual plant, these plant shoots have to be removed.
Cut off plant shoots close to the ground
The shoots can grow a few centimeters apart, or a meter and more. What does the one who doesn't know do? He is happy and lets the plant grow. But that's exactly the wrong thing! Such runners should be cut off close to the ground. Why? The plant is rooted underground and produces new shoots directly from the spurs of the roots.
Growing new plants from the shoots
If you let them grow, you get a new plant, but you also prevent the main plant from developing. Because this distributes the power available to the plant, less power is put into the main plant. The result: it no longer grows sufficiently or has a sparse bloom. So just cut off the shoot. However, you can also dig it up, cut the root connection and grow it as a new plant.
