I got this trailer from a lady in her 70s and it was her grandmothers. It is the only one I have and don\'t know how to pot it! I see them online that are bushy and in a short, wide pot. Mine had a very long stem with roots, I therefore put it in a tall narrow pot. But it seems to hang off the side..should I put the stem horizontally in a wide pot? Also should I seperate the new plants or let them grow wild for the bushy look? Any advice on these guys is helpful! Ps, I am experienced with standards so if there is a similarity in cutting the roots to fit or if they like the be root bound please let me know!
