My first ever plant

[Exellite]

I want to make it more bushy but moving and rotating each leaf puts me off, is there a way to get them positioned automatically WHILE keeping the stem of the leaf near the stem of the plant?, because when I use scatter in the compound objects menu it seems to mess up the position of the leaves and scatters them wrongly, I know how to scatter them to certain faces from watching the Ted Boardman video on scatter, I just need them to pivot round the stem randomly like real leaves.

 

thanks for any help received, much apreciated

You can use Particle Flow for that. I've been using it to creat trees and stuff and it's quite nice.
