Many thanks Alan and everyone for your help and support. My concerns for this plant are:
It may not have established roots; is this a problem?
The bugs may still be an issue; I've been spraying the plant with Basic H each day
the temperature may be part of the issues because my normal house temperature is 62 degrees.
Should I wait to lop off the top and if so for how long?
What should I do with the top I lopped off so that it roots well?
And, are there any other issues I should address before loping off the top of this plant?
My guess is that these plants are reasonably tough considering this plant was just a piece of a plant I found in the trash. I've had it for almost 2 months now and am glad it is still alive after being in water for almost a month, then potted, the having the bug issue.
I'm ready to take the next step. Please let me know anything I should do and be aware of so that this operation can be as successful as possible.
Oh, after loping off the top should I thoroughly wash the plant to be certain it has nomore bugs or any other problems?
