I’ve had this two months. It’s put off two very leggy stems with the leaves at the very end. Should I trim these back to promote fuller growth? It shouldn’t be reaching for light. It’s in bright indirect light and I turn it. My first experience with this plant.

If your goal is bushier, I would trim the leggy stems.
