Can you post some photos?
DaisyI said:The bread tie is now on the inside of the stem. There's not much you can do about it.
I would cut all the tall branches down to just below the height of the shortest branch. New branches will grow just below the cuts so keep that in mind when you prune. Its okay to do it now.
Stick the cuttings back into the pot to grow more plants.
DaisyI said:Yes, especially the stems with no leaves. Any stems you cut back will branch on the nodes just below the cut. Visualize how tall and where you want branches and cut the stems at that height.ok thanks so much, your a big help on this
If you cut the stems at different heights, the plant will branch at different heights and the plant will look fuller. You can also add some of your cuttings to this pot (it is large enough for quite a few), that will make it even fuller.

DaisyI said:When the soil feels dry about an inch down, water until water comes out the bottom of the pot. Then wait until the soil is dry an inch down before watering again. In a large pot, it could take a couple weeks to dry.
