What can (or should) I do with the wee lad to get him to grow larger and fuller? Repotted less than 6 months ago. Photo taken 20 June 2026.

Prune him in between his nodes and it should start to branch out and grow fuller and get a thicker stem (looking more like a tree). You can then propagate the pruned stem in water or soil. The leaves of the plant can also be propagated in soil.

When the weather is cooperative, you could set your plant outside for some shaded sun and fresh air
