Just reading about how the fires are affecting you all in SoCal! So sorry to see that. My family lives down that way & says it is sad to see so much literally going up in smoke.

Earlier in late spring, I took cuttings from my top heavy plumie. One has 4 branches coming off it. (I cut it off well before the spider mite episode.) It's been potted for a good 8 weeks now but I'm wondering if I did it right. Should I have knocked off 3 of those branches to give the rest a chance to root well? I thought that might be too much of a shock so left them on. They all still have claws but one of the side branches is actually putting out leaves. Do I start watering or wait to see if the claws on the other branches leaf out? Should I knock off the other 3 branches?

Thanks. You guys by the fires, keep safe!
