# This is my first FLF and she's grown so tall over 2ft since I got her…

_Posted by Amateur plant mama on 2026-06-08_

This is my first FLF and she's grown so tall over 2ft since I got her last fall. but I don't understand how people get them more bushy instead of just one trunk. Her newest leafs are so much bigger than the last few. I finally got her some bamboo supports and started to shake her. Any advice? Also when I decide she's tall enough I hear I just chop off the new growth at the top?!?
