Just got a little frag of it two weeks ago and it's been doing well. Not sure how fast it's supposed to grow, has grown about a quarter of an inch. Would like to frag it and make two if I cut the stalk about a third of the way up would it grow back ok? Or should I let it keep growing, and if I let it grow how big should I let it get before I can frag it. | |

I would wait till it starts to branch, then when the branches are about 1/2inch to an 1inch, cut the head off with the 2 branches, then divide the branches, and wah lah, you have 3 of them. | |
