Hi everybody!
I'm new on here, I read a lot about vft's but couldn't find an answer to my question!
A few weeks ago my girlfriend and I decided to get some plants for our new appartment.
We were in a gardening store when she saw these vft's and she absolutely wanted one.
So we bought one.. Off course at that time I knew little about them so I informed myself on the internet.
Now when we bought this vft it was flowering, I didn't know these had a much needed dormancy period.
I read most of the growers cut the stem off before it's too high but in our case the bud was already developing..
So my question to you guys is: what now? should I cut it off or should I allow it to flower and skip dormancy for one year?
As I stated in my introduction: we live in an appartment, no balcony or garden, so I'm growing indoors as I have no other options.
Thanks guys!
