At the rate my basal shoot is going, it will probably be bigger than the mother plant in a few months. I know I can chop off the main mother plant to let the basal shoot grow even faster, but I don't want to do it. Can I make cuttings of the basal shoot like cut 2/3's of the basal shoot and use that as a cutting and will the cut basal shoot grow back. The nep in question is a N. x edinensis. Also, you weren't kidding when you said basal shoots grow fast, each new leave is 2-3 times bigger than the previous
