Hi!

So I have this Dracaena Marginata that I want to transform to something like this:
http://prntscr.com/jsub75

My plan was to try to get those 3 branches a bit thicker and then cut them off and plant separately. I read in some older posts, that in order to thicken the trunk I could remove apical meristems. So I did that. Now I am thinking that it could be a mistake, because I have 3 branches already and to thicken those 3 trunks I should have planted them separately and only then remove apical meristems.

So basically my question is, will the 3 trunks get thicker or will it maximize foliage and stay this thin?
