maybe before you try separating see how you feel about a little extra support, like a trellis or something similar! that way you can sort it and make it look more uniform without separating. but if it comes to you have some pretty good places to cut and prop if you’re interested in doing that!

I trained mine to all face the same direction right next to a window and I love the look of a bushier plant
