    I have never grown it - but I am sure that you have got good advice. They are probbly pretty tough.

      Just said I would give an update. After I cut mine it did nothing for ages then put out 2 new shoots. One right on the top where it was cut and one a couple of inches from the bottom. One of the cuttings has rooted well and the other went in the bin today.
      @JackJJW did you do anything with yours?

        Hi TMAK, thanks for the update that's great to know about the regrowth and cutting.

        I have left mine for now, it is just putting out its new shoots with Spring (it's an outdoor plant). I decided not to chop until I saw how it grows. It only has one ring on unhealthy looking leaves at the top so wanted to get it back into health and then nip out the growing point to force the branching. Will see how it goes over the next month or two :)
