Can you make a cut for new growth or for it grow at a low...

Hi Kelly! 👋

You can prune your umbrella tree to make it bushier. When you prune, cut just above a leaf, and it will branch from where the leaf and stem meet.

You can also propagate the cuttings and put them back into the pot once they have rooted for a fuller look

@PlantMompy Sorry idk why I’m just seeing this and thanks for your reply…I’m just so scared to cut it and that it won’t grow back since it’s just one! I’ve tried to propagate them and haven’t been successful so that’s why I didn’t know!

That's understandable!!

Be sure to prune during the growing season to achieve the most growth.

Also, you could try air layering to keiki paste which sometimes feels slightly less scary. Lol
