What am I doing wrong? I bought this plant probably over 2 years ago. When I bought it, it has several brunches on one side and bare on the other side. It was still pretty but too heavy and constantly tilting on one side. I pruned it, hoping to promote growth and it did but not on the brunches I cut but the other brunches. I’m about loose another brunch because all I have now is a stick. I also tried to propagate from the last cut and no roots are coming out.

these are trees, so it’s natural to cork and turn into a “stick” — you shouldn’t lose any branches because of it! i would recommend you try air layering to develop more branches off the main stem to fill it out more to your liking! the existing branches look healthy and has new growth, so i wouldn’t worry about those.

here’s a good step-by-step guide: instructables.com/Propagating-Plants-by-Air-Layering/)
