My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

My rabbit foot fern is getting stringy

13 years ago

I need to know if it would be better for the plant if I cut off some or all of the really long 'legs' and let it start over producing the feet. I've had this plant for almost as long as I have had my children and they are grown! Thanks for any help.
