Karen,

Honestly, rooting more cuttings is a lot easier in the long run then trying to care for large, heavily rooted plants. You can mix some potting mix with vermiculite, stick the cuttings and water it real good then leave them sit somewhere with bright light. So long as they don't dry out, they'll root in no time.

I know it's more plants but it will help you care for your large plants more easily. They'd fit under the lights again. By trimming the roots, the plants will send out new roots and by adding soil, they'll have somewhere to go, much the same as potting them to a larger size.

If you don't want to root what you pinch, you don't have to but who wastes free plants? LOL

Potted plants usually croak due to too much love or not enough. :P

Thanks for the vote of confidence Sugar! I can't wait to see your planters!

I'll go shut up now. haha
