glass of water as soon as roots show pot on, now that is the worst part as

bushier


Thanks very much.

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


As they are about 10 inches tall and if the leaf joints are close together
you can cut them back by about half, just above a leaf joint
