Yep, I’ll get her to go sideways more and less vertical growth. Once she gets root bound I’ll score the roots and keep her in the small pot.

Interesting. why does scoring the roots do for you if it stays in the same pot? Making a mother? Hi Pennywise

It allows the plant to grow bigger in a small pot without becoming rootbound. This one will be kept as a mother.

Update for 4-13-20
The BH7 mom is growing a lot of low growth now so almost time to top her again. Should get 3-4 nice cuttings once I do. The youngsters will go outside this weekend. I’ll start a new round of seedlings as soon as these are moved out.
