# Tips for helping her grow? I finally chopped her in half after…

_Posted by #junglevibes on 2026-06-18_

Tips for helping her grow? I finally chopped her in half after dreading it for months. She was about 9 feet tall and starting to lean and the bottom leaves were old and crinkled. I snipped most of the bottom leaves off and replanted it, and dipped the top nice half in rooting hormone and planted it. How often should I be watering? And how soon should it take to see roots?
