....always clip your blooms just a hair above the crotch of a stem that has 5 leaves. I was told that's what keeps them blooming.Bill, I believe tk's advice means you would leave those 5 leaves on the stem. By cutting "ABOVE the crotch of a stem that has 5 leaves" it would leave the 5 leaves.
Trithkeeper, please correct me if I'm wrong.
