My pride and joy has outgrown my lighting setup. To chop, or not to chop? That is the burning question.

When you chop it it will branch a new branch and usually two making the plant bushier. You can also dip cutting into rooting powder and pot back into same soil and it will just make for a bushier plant. I was afraid but when I finally did my plant has gotten much bigger and bushier

I’d say it depends on if you have another option for light that allows it to keep growing. Maybe a grow light?? I’ve had this one for 20 years and it’s about five feet tall and stunning!

My little guy outgrew my plant cabinet, so he moved to a shelf. I considered chopping, but I'm curious about how tall he can get so for now he's just chilling
