I would love to create one...Does anybody know what the best way to start is?
I have two options right now. I have a schefflera in one pot with 5 separate stems. It's fairly well established, and the stalks are about 3/8" in diameter. But, the 5 base stems aren't clustered together, they are pretty evenly spread out around an 8" pot. Will I do damage if I split them and re-pot them closer together so they can be more readily braided together?
The second option is that I have two separate starter
plants with two each stems. I could just pot those toghether for 4 stems to braid and they will automatically be as close as they need to be. The only downside on that is that the stems are new and tiny...probably a good place to start, but I'm impatient sometimes and want the big thick stems NOW! hahaha okay, I can wait.
Any other suggestions, things to avoid, etc...would be greatly appreciated!
