JB--

Those AV's are pretty big for being under a year old!
Did you start with one "leaf" or a bigger cutting to root? Just one per pot--or several?

Mine would have to be growing close to 3 years to get to that size.
Of course--I do not have a Greenhouse. I bet the warmth and humidity helps a lot.

No one has answered my question a few posts up--so I will ask it again of you.

By bigger baby CC's, from a couple of years ago, are all done blooming (or not).
They are putting out some new growths.
I want to pinch then back to encourage a more compact growth. Should I? Could I?

Thanks, Gita.

Took this picture just now. These are the better ones......
I realized how dry I am allowing these little plants--some are almost dessicated!
in clay pots to get. Shame on me!!!
