Hi.

My long stem plants are growing very tall and they are starting to cave in. I need to trim them down but every time i trim them, they grow new stems from the side of the plant (which i dont want). How do i trim them so that they can grow like normal?

THanks

Generally, stem plants are pulled up, and the tops cut off and replanted, discarding the bottoms. When you want to propogate them, keep the bottoms and let them branch to get more, or lay them (length wise) along the substrat and they will send up new stems at each node.
