# My silver inch plant is getting so long and heavy. I’m needing to do…

_Publié par Angel07 le 2025-05-12_

My silver inch plant is getting so long and heavy. I’m needing to do something or I’m afraid it’s all gonna break off! Also it’s so delicate at the top I’m afraid if I take it out of the pot it will all break. Any suggestions?

I don’t have an answer for you but want to see comments! Mine always get like this too, I don’t know how to keep them bushy at the top

I would cut and propagate a lot of it, when they have roots plant them back into the pot and it will become bushier and bushier

THIS sounds so logical.

This is what I do

you could try and put soft hooks along a wall to help hang it but so it won’t break the stems…  
how do you keep your plants leaves from burning? i have one but consistently run into the leaves burning while it’s growing

It’s in a south window and I’m really hot days I keep the curtains closed. I also live in Minnesota:)

ahh okay

There's no harm in giving it a trim, it grows right back and then you have a bunch of baby inch plants to propagate :)

Any trimming would probably ruin the awesome look that it has right now but eventually it will be necessary. In theory, if you do a moderate to hard prune at the bottom it would generate more Central and top growth.
