I've got one like that too, only mine isn't as evenly coloured. Do you think it'll change to those seasonal colours soon KCAR??

Yes Mel, Just keep persisting by cutting every third [Green] branch off & maybe adding more coathanger wire. You may be over watering too?

Wow. Very informative.
I now realise I’ve been spending way to much time on my wiring technique.
And every third branch, what have I been thinking.
