4” pot with drainage

If you want more bushy growth, I would advise to snip the tops now and then😊 It will then make 2 new branches where you snip instead of just growing straight upπŸͺ΄
@MockingJay thank you! It was a rescue and the rest was lost but I would like her to be bushy! I’ll do that
@MockingJay where should I cut?
@LiftLashPlant wow she is really growing in thightπŸ˜„
I usually just pinch the very top of each branch when they get long enough.
You don't have any branches to pinch yet, but you might pinch off the newest leaf-pair on top, that way the branches will start growing further down the stem too😊

Here is a pic of one of mine before and after the winter-trimming if that might be of helpπŸ˜„ (this is a heavy trim, I take just the tips now and then during the growing-season too).
Also I would think it is time to repot in a little while. Then you can plant her a litte lower in the new pot, she will make new roots along the stem that is under soil too.πŸͺ΄
@MockingJay so pretty 🀩 thank you 😊
@MockingJay awesome I’ll do that thank you
