Looking for some advice on how you’d prune this Happy Bean (aptly named!). It’s stemmy and I’d prefer a more bushy look but I’m afraid of over pruning. What do you all think? Should I try and make a bushier plant from the cutting I took earlier this week, or cut back the OG plant even more? I don’t want shock \& kill the mother plant - she’s done well - but I’m not if this how these plants are actually supposed to grow??
