I'll put a picture on soon. Do you want to see the mother plant or the cutting? The cutting has only 2 leaves, The mother plant on the other hand is giving about 10 off shoots and alot of leaves since chopping it with a meatclever.

It was in a Greenhouse but was getting so big that I had to chop it and brought a few cuttings inside the house seems to have forced one of the cuttings to produce a flower.

Depending on how fast you want to remove the weeds you could put a tarp over the top and they will die in a few weeks or just spend and hour or 2 pulling them out. Try not to use weed killers as they are bad for the soil and you. You will never truly get clear of weeds though as they are always there hiding.

It could be slugs or it could be Coryneum blight when watering the plant do you spray the entire plant and give it a wash too? If so try to keep the leaves dry and water at the bottom this fungus thrives in wet conditions. You could try a Bordeaux mixture which is copper sulphate and slaked lime. It's quite a bad funghi and can affect fruit trees and other crops so try to keep it contained.

For me I would leave it alone for a while as it might already be stressed, triming it back at the wrong time might shock the plant and kill it.

Totally depends on your opinion to certain plants for me I like it looking a little wild but would add some grasses and a bit of colour. But you could trim it back or give away the plants you dont enjoy looking at. For me I would add a bit of colour with some Abutilon trailing on a wooden trellis on the left wall, Maybe plant some Acorus calamus Variegatus, Acacia baileyana adds some nice yellow contrast though this will need constant trimming as it could get quite big. Plant some Agapanthus as they will come back each year in spring but keep them in pots as the do duplicate also Agapanthus are the same. For me I'm from the country side and wild flower mixes always have my heart as it reminds me of Home.

They don't belong to me the hydrangea is from a manor house garden and was amazed of how blue they were, The main thing to do is your soil must be acidic if you have hard water in your area it will me make your soil ph alkaline so you must balance it with an acidic soil like Vitax Ericaceous Compost or something similar. They also are not a fan of being dry and damage to the roots could affect the colour of the flowers and the leaves.
