The branches form when the leaves are removed, but cutting a larger portion of the top (than just the tip) should also cause the side branches to grow. Here are 3 examples of plants that were single stalks just getting taller. I removed all of the lower leaves along the main stem. So now they are growing side branches. It's fine to have either type of plant, but hope this helps those who want them more bushy without reducing the height.
