That was painful for me to watch. I don't ever have hanging baskets that look so full. I need to fertilize more, but I don't have all day full sun either just 11-4. It's hard to fertilize when we get regular rain down south. Appreciate your videos though.
If you need to spray for bugs, trimming back can make it easier- especially to reach the undersides of the leaves. Plus you may be removing some eggs or additional pests. Just make sure to leave some leaves for the plant to photosynthesize AND dispose of the cuttings in the trash rather than composting them.
