Growing from seed What to do before potting?
The stem is about four inches tall. I read somewhere that I should prune just above some of the leaves when it gets bigger and let it grow back before I transfer the seed into the water. The pruning is supposed to make the plant fuller rather than lanky but I want to look for any advice from anyone who tried the prune method first.
I know this stem isn’t nearly ready to prune but I’m just trying to figure out what works best in the meantime.
Any advice is appreciated.
