Would you divide these or let them grow the way they are? I want a full plant, but don’t want to restrict them negatively.

My preference has always been to keep multiples together for a nice lush look. And it looks like there is enough room in that pot too!

I would definitely agree with NYPhilos post; I think you would really like the look of all fuller leaved plant. That is exactly what I chose to do with my “Amazonian”! She is quite old and has been very slow growing, but she is really a beauty. I’ll let you see for yourself. 🤗💚🪴

Normally, I allow her stems to be free, floating, but right now, she is staked and clipped because one of her leaves fell over. So I decided to correct the rest of her leaves while I was at it. Ain’t she purty?! 🤗💚🪴

Oops! I sent my reply to you back to me… My bad!  
🤗💚🪴  
PS. So, what do you think of my beauty?
