    Hi all,

    I was on this forum back in 2007 I think it was an a member kindly sent me a small moneyplant in the post. Well now its a rather ungainly looking thing and I was hoping to encourage more growth on it. Does anyone have any tips?
    I wondered whether if I cut the stems right back new growth would start from the top, or will this just kill it off?

    Thanks :) IMG_0403.JPG

    The only thing I can suggest with your Pilea is to cut it back to about3/ 4" from the base (pot level) and hope it shoots from there. You could use the tops for cuttings if you want to increase it's number.
    Love the Waxwing avatar.:blue thumb:

    Andy, it's a Little Bee Eater, by the Mara river in Kenya (last August).
    I still haven't seen a Waxwing, yet.
