That's terrible when they do that. When you re pot I would pick out the stringy ones in the middle that get little to no light and have max of 2 or 3 plants in a pot that size. Remember the bigger the pot the bigger the plant. One plant in a container can become a tree.. if allowed.

Thank you for the reply, Matt. Maybe I should have spent the extra money to get the next size up. All of the 10" containers only had one or two stems growing out of the soil.

When you say "pick out the stringy ones"... do you think I'll be able to separate some for repotting in another pot, or will I just have to cut them back? If I can separate them with some roots would the next step be as simple as replanting them in another smaller pot of soil?

Thanks again!
