I have had house plants most of my 63 years. But my husband and I have downsized and I donated many of my larger plants to my daughters\' Montessori school. Just recently though, while at a gardening center to hunt down some fill house plants for a friend, I picked up a collection of house plants in teeny tiny pots and planted them in a container about 6\" x 9\". Up until now, I have been a dramatic pruner....getting too big? Whack! Off goes your head! I\'ve had fine success with that method with those plants. Pothos? Can hardly kill them. Thank goodness, I never whacked my faithful Norfolk pine! Still have him. But, I\'d love some advice on keeping these little guys small. These are not bonsai type plants...just young house plants. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Stay cool out there.
