I forgot how much gossip and micro-aggressions were commonplace

I can hear this image

Beautiful!!

Oh, that’s a great idea. Thank you!

I’m hoping he’s okay. I understand if he’s going through something personal and just needs time.

Saaaaaame. It hits different when your enemies are unethical sociopaths.

I think this post would resonate more for me, personally, if “enemy” was replaced with “curmudgeon”… but then it probably wouldn’t get as many clicks.

It’s that I’m only disappointing myself.

Oh, so it is an old-timey photo!

Yeah, I can’t quite pinpoint why it looks so old-timey

Here is the source for that diagram: https://extension.uga.edu/publications/detail.html?number=B949&title=basic-principles-of-pruning-woody-plants

I found an example of what I meant in my last comment. Plants usually have buds like the two examples below: alternating on either side of a trunk/branch, or two coming right out of the same “node” but directly opposite each other.

I can’t really tell from the photos, but it looks like money trees possibly alternate. In either case, you can see in the diagram that once you make a cut, that particular branch won’t get any longer but the new side-branches will.

I can’t really see the trunk in the original photo in your post (the one with the purple light) but the trunk I can see in the forefront of the picture above will never grow taller than where it’s been pruned.

Once you prune a “leader” (single, main branch/trunk) it will not grow taller, but it will split into branches going sideways (or some other direction.)

Once you prune a plant, it’s like putting a dam in a stream. The water will find other ways to flow, but not where the dam has been placed.

Can you share a picture of two of your ideal money tree?

D) all of the above
