Just snapped an arm off my standard fuschia

[Justsewsew]

Just that really. Been nurturing it since taking it as a cutting last September. Everyone has been threatened not to breathe on it. Even sent it to be babysat by my brother while we were on holiday last month. I was pushing a supporting stake into rhe pot and snapped one side "arm" off it. I could honestly cry. Pride comes before a fall I guess - serves me right for feeling all cocky 😪

or is that a bit tactless?

Take all the flowers and buds off the broken bit and put it in water. Waste not want not.

Poor thing hasn't got that far 😫. I have put it in water and will pot it up.

Bad as it feels, at least it was you that did it. Blaming yourself is better than blaming others

@Justsewsew It might produce buds in the next few weeks, so take them off anyway so it can concentrate on growing some roots.

@MereDintofPandiculation exactly what I said to my husband. This plant has put the fear of god into him! In other news, my rose cuttings are finally showing roots through the bottom of the pot 😊

Good feeling, isn’t it?
