stoice Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Would it be possible to grow Budleja in a very large pot? I know it's fast growing and will need pruning back hard every year but thought it might make a good screen sat on our decking between us and the neighbours. What do you think?

moochoo Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think it would have to be a very large pot. Their roots grow really fast too and would probably get pot bound in a couple of years. It's definitely worth trying though, you could always re-pot it to keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It should work provided it is a big pot and you give it plenty of water. They are also easy to grow from cuttings so if it looks like it is getting too big take off a softish branch or two and push them into the pot around the parent plant and they will soon root then can be repotted in their own right.

stoice Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Could I do that at this time of year? My mum has a lovely one, she wouldn't mind me taking a cutting. Do i just stick it in and it'll root? (Like willow does?) Fab if so The pot is huge ish. I can't get my arms round it. Will put water retaining gell in too if it'll help.
