My Adansonii bush. Not sure where to go from here. I keep chopping the head off, and it keeps sprouting more nodes, making it look a little unbalanced.

Ideally I’d replant the mature tops into the soil on the bottom, for a bushier plant. But it’s already extremely bushy, running out of room down there.

Open to any ideas on how to manage it. I’m already giving away/propagating my top-chops, so I guess that’s the long term plan?

Good tip. I’ve tried a little air-layering in the past with this plant, but personally found more success with water propagation.

I do have a juvenile deliciosa that I plan to use a plank with as soon as it’s large enough.
