Howdee folks! Longtime I know!
I chopped all my out of control neps this past week (2 years unpruned growth) but I have yet to decide what to do about my N. rajah. It's about 3 feet in diameter and about 2+ feet tall but his stem is mostly bare except the last 6-8 leaves. When other plants get like this I just chop em and restart the top, never had a problem but I'm a bit wary of doing this to my rajah since he was among my first Neps and... well it's a rajah!
Anyone else ever done this with success? I know the offsets root easily but what about restarting a top this big? I had to add some soil above as the roots are coming out of the soil surface, roots as big around as my finger!
