I was honestly soooo worried about this big cut! I had her just growing for like 3 years and never cut much off other than when it was too heavy! Welllll recently I repotted her and chopped! Made her sooo much fuller💚

Recently gave my 30 year old a haircut. I was a lil worried about it myself but the cuttings started taking root recently.

I hacked up my 15 y/o majorly this winter — they are prolific. you can really treat these like shrubs (they ARE shrubs in the ideal outdoor conditions!) mine is going through an awkward phase but the new growth is always astounding!
