ive had the mother plant for many years hun and have cut it back many times it is a fast grower in good soil with plenty of water and alot of light it took me 3 years to get it as long as it is now tho
only 1 hun but i almost always put in a 2nd one thay are at leas 6 inches long and take root fast i dont ship a cutting without roots on it and after its put in soil you can cut off the top 2 inches or so a put in water it will take root and give you another plant :)
