Thanks Weenel and CG. Heres a pic. Appreciate if you could tell me where to pinch because the last time I cut of the top, no new leaves came and I had to throw the plant as the weather worsened.

Yes CG, I usually keep all the chopping for time after the flowers have bloomed but this time I want to start pruning a little early so I don't have to deal with a very tall plant in a small pot. When the weather is better it may be moved outside in a bigger pot but till then, while it is too hot outside, I want it to get stronger in a smaller pot.

Actually weenel, I think I have been lucky with this variety because the wind is enough to pollinate but if they do start blooming inside (which I doubt due to less sunlight directly hitting it), I'll try to pollinate them myself.

I usually don't feed them anything except crushed eggshels that I mix in the soil. This time I have started feeding it with whey to help the acidity and I will probably add some food in the soil when I'm repotting it in a bigger container.
