Chinese Moneyplant

Hi all,

I was on this forum back in 2007 I think it was an a member kindly sent me a small moneyplant in the post. Well now its a rather ungainly looking thing and I was hoping to encourage more growth on it. Does anyone have any tips?
I wondered whether if I cut the stems right back new growth would start from the top, or will this just kill it off?

Thanks

 

Welcome back Andy

 

Thanks Zigs, things have changed quite a bit since I was last here!!

 

A little bit, we've had a man in

Not sure about your plant, but i'm sure there'll be someone along later

 

The only thing I can suggest with your Pilea is to cut it back to about3/ 4" from the base (pot level) and hope it shoots from there. You could use the tops for cuttings if you want to increase it's number.
Love the Waxwing avatar.

 

Thanks, will give it a go! Thanks, one of my own photos from this year! No idea what yours is but looks cracking!

 

Andy, it's a Little Bee Eater, by the Mara river in Kenya (last August).
I still haven't seen a Waxwing, yet.

 

I thought it was a bee-eater but looked wrong colours to me! Weve had loads of waxwings up here this year, i've even got waxwing poo on my car!!
