The mother plant continues to grow and often puts out lots of new growth - maybe in response to being pruned like other plants do?

The Morocco cuttings all came from the mother plant which I let our local chapter members cut if they wanted any. I then cut it after that to start a new pot, then got the tray of cuttings a month or two ago, and the mother plant is almost back to its summer size. The daughter plants I cut are almost 2 foot tall and blooming now. Here it is back in late September before the cutting began with Selph's Mahogany and venosa.
