Take the leggy ones and when transplanting cut it down so it can go into the middle of the pot until the foliage touch the soil. I sometimes cut off all roots and soil and put the plant rootless in the middle of the pot of soil all the way down as far as it can. It will root extremely fast filling in and giving you babies within weeks or two. The picture of Grey lady she is in a 5 inch pan pot. But I cut her up as I owed two stolen to a Bingo winner and the ones I sent were as big as plants. lol Then I made two 4" potted plants and another pan pot plant all from the stolen hanging ..and Mom plant is still in her pot re-growing and filling in :))
Alice has always been my favorite the first one I got. I have share her with friends and family all over th world. She shows no boundaries and I have never know anyone who could kill her. Mine have never got real big sense I always cut babies off to share :)) But mom's and my brother in laws have. People I have sent her to have shared her a lot with others too ! I also adore Teddy Bear, the prettiest foliage to go right alone with the prettiest flowers. Another one that grows like a weed :))
