but in spring, trim back, place the trimmings in
glass of water as soon as roots show pot on, now that is the worst part as
they may succumb to rot when potted on. The trimming back will make plant
bushier


Thanks very much.

When you say to trim them, where exactly do you mean? At the growing
tip?


If they are about 10 inches tall as I believe you said and have short stems
between leaf nodes then you could trim back about half way just above a leaf
joint this will keep them in shape and make them bush.
