A few tips I forgot to mention in the video: 1st - make sure your cutting tool is clean. Sterilize your scissors/pruners in a bleach solution beforehand if needed. 2nd - normally I wouldn't recommend you remove more than 1/3 of your plant at a time. I'm doing a "hard prune" here which will send the plant into shock, but I'm monitoring it accordingly. For normal trimming, don't remove more than 1/3 of the leaves at a time! 😊
Nice trimming. However, I don't think your plant is going to become more bushy on top. It will only continue to grow in length just the same way it was growing. What are you going to do with those stems that you cut off? I would not throw it away, instead I would choose some of them and put them in water for appx 2 - 3 weeks, they will grow out roots that you can add to your current plant to make it bushy or you can make a new plant for yourself or anyone else...
It will stimulate growth all along the vine. But yes, mostly on the ends. By switching the lighting right now, though, I can encourage a bit more growth on the other side of the plant while it's in growth mode, thus evening it out a bit. My next few videos will be demonstrating what I've done with the cuttings... (just what you've said... I propagated them!) 😆

can you propagate the middle sections of the cuttings? like can you make five from one vine?
Totally! I'll be covering that in my next video... Stay tuned! 😊
