# My Tortum is getting leggy and isn’t producing many leaves. I am…

_Geplaatst door Joycita op 2026-06-29_

My Tortum is getting leggy and isn’t producing many leaves. I am thinking of chopping and propping but not entirely sure how to go about it. Can I cut just below the top most leaf? can I then chop that top portion into wet sticks? Or should I just propagate the entire top portion? Any suggestions welcome!

I would chop it right where the second strap is holding her to the pole and prop it. Godspeed!! 💚💚
