Hi plant ppl! I’m thinking of chopping my flf mostly for branching but also to prop the top cuttings. I just watered today but I’m scared to cut 😬 Do y’all think I should do the chop in the green, newer stem area or take it back to the woody stem? Thank u for any tips!!

    I took the leap and chopped mine a few months ago and threw it into a glass vase with some leca and I can already see some roots growing and a new leaf! Also I’d chop right at the bottom of the leggy part, right where the leaf is!

      Is it branching out where you chopped? I think I want to chop mine too but I'm scared

      This is them now! Not sure if this helps but you can see the propagated one has a baby leaf already and the other has just let out a bunch of them at the top! Also, if you use Leca just get the water level at 25-30% full like in this picture otherwise you risk getting root rot.
