do you cut off blooms on a clerodendrum Thomosoniae bleeding heart vine after it gets through blooming
You can remove the spent flowers, but let the foliage die down naturally.
My Bleeding Heart ( just one clump of them for now) seems to have some kind of disease. First the stems started to turn a almost dark 'purply' color, then started to wilt & fall over. Other years this particular plant has gotten upwards of 4 feet & bloomed all summer. I cut off one half of it & the remainder seems fine, although the flowers aren't lasting & the other half started to regrow but is now having the same problem (my pics are taken this morning, I have none from the really dark stems). This clump has been there for about 8-9 years with no issues. Any suggestions ? I was thinking samarium wilt but leaves are not yellowing, & I couldn't find anything bleeding heart 'specific'. I want to take care of this before it spreads.
Check soil moisture, is the soil is poorly draining, it can cause fungus issues and even root rot.
Adding good organic amendments each spring helps soil drainage.
Warm temperatures can start the plant into it's natural life cycle of dying back after flowering.

Why did my clerodendrum bleeding heart plant not have any blooms this year? It was in full bloom when purchased last year.

can u cut down bleeding hearts when they are finished blooming
Debbie,
You want to give your bleeding heart plants time to gather strength for next year's blooming. Wait until the foliage has yellowed and then remove it.
My husband accidently weed wiped a bleeding heart that has been in the same spot for 20+ years, will it come back? And how can we help it come back?
You will need to wait it out to see if it can grow back from the roots.
My bleeding heart is in a pot. It is huge. Should I replant in my garden. Don't know what to do ?
I do think you would be best to plant this outdoors for longterm success.

My bleeding heart did not bloom this year and it appears to have a thick stalk like a tree. Is that normal?
