# Advice request: This little buddy has been putting out maximum effort…

_Posted by Mads on 2024-04-30_

Advice request:

This little buddy has been putting out maximum effort since I adopted him last June. See: Before and After pics.

However he is rather unruly and uneven in shape.

Would you chop \& prop? I’m also considering moving him outside for summer so he gets ample opportunity to grow.

If I am to chop \& prop, can middle cuts of stems be propagated? I’m thinking of the XL stem that’s flowering.

We’ve come so far, I just don’t want to mess him up. 😅

Thank you for your input!
