Here are some techniques I often use to make my plant bushy: When it's still young and actively growing, I gently pinch the tips to encourage bushing. I also remove any dead or slightly wilted flowers to keep it looking its best. I make sure to provide plenty of sunlight to prevent leggy growth and use the right fertilizer, especially during the growing season, with liquid fertilizer. I also make sure to move it to a large, wide pot that has good drainage.
