Pinching Rose of Sharon Seedlings for Bushiness

Spindly 8-inch Rose of Sharon seedlings need outdoor light to strengthen.

Plant in ground; full sun.
Water 1 gallon/week.
Pinch tips only after 2–3 feet tall to encourage branching.

Indoor light is insufficient; outdoor sun builds sturdy structure.
