    Just chop her back ! This one is pretty easy, I’ve heard people root them in water I threw mine in moist soil 🤗

    Mine grows like CRAZY!! Except not straight up and nice like yours haha, my stems/branches 🙈 grow all over the place, but so long that it’s hard to find a place to put her! Eventually I just decided to start trimming her at a “node” or at the base of a leaf…now I’m definitely not an expert but mine has done fine after this! Lots of new growth where I did give her a good cut. I was going to try and propogate the cuttings in water but I got distracted over the summer and it was too late by the time I got back to them. The only problem I’m having is having her reflower!! She grows and grows, but no flowering…

      Try fertilizing. I use Planta advice and mine has rebloomed twice in three years. Usually it’s in January. Good luck!

      Will do! It’s true, I haven’t been fertilizing her as regularly at all! Thanks for your advice!!

    How did you get them to grow straight up? They are beautiful!

    If want a straight plant make it reach for sunlight if you want a full bushy plant cut it back and keep cutting it back every 3 months or so the cuts just above the leaves are where new branches will grow also place it in full sun light to get the bushy plant cut
