What is the correct way to trim stem plants?

[tangyp]

As you all know, stem plants grow really quick so I'd like to find out from the pros here..."what is the correct way for me to trim these stem plants?"

Right now, I am pulling them out, cut of the bottom few inches or whatever length appropriate and then replanting the top bit. Is this the correct way or the only way?

Would appreciate any feedback to this newbie here.

TIA!

hey tangyp, whatever you are doing now is one of the way.

Another way is to trim and throw away top. 2 or more stems will split from the cut node. You can use this way to achieve bushy effect, but it will take a while though.
