# I bought this snow bush back in Sept (on the left in 2nd pic) and it…

_Posted by Madeline on 2024-01-21_

I bought this snow bush back in Sept (on the left in 2nd pic) and it has grown significantly but now it’s so droopy and the stems are SO thin, I don’t know why! I never let her completely dry out. Not sure if a snow bush is supposed to go through winter dormancy? Pls help!

I’ve tried a lot of different things and can’t seem to find what it needs.

I found out since it’s about a year later now. It’s definitely winter dormancy because last summer it was full again! I had also trimmed the stems way too far back, so a tip is to only slightly trim if you want to shape it!

Oh, thanks for confirming. Do you trim all year round ?
