Preparing to prune (and propagate) Moses...

Poor Moses, he doesn't know what's coming.

There's a lot to Moses now, compared to 2.5 years ago when I was first gifted him...

However I wonder if the leggy-ness (despite being quite beautiful and quirky in their own way) is due to a lack of light, and the change of leaf colour is too.

I did a quick (or quick as I could) stem count - I counted:

* 9 big long stalks

* 3 additional spindly stalks from the soil

* 4 spindly offshoots from the big stalks

* 7 short offshoots from the big stalks

I think my plan is to (gulp) cut most (if not all) of these stems off, and replant them into new pots (after trimming each stem down to just keep the healthy top). And then repot the remaining root ball (which will look very sad) into a pot, potentially the same one.
