Can I do the same to the topmost growth on her side branches to similar effect?

YES! Just wait for them to have at least 2 nodes... and cut off the growth from the "third" proto-node.

I agree, that's an amazing looking plant you have there. What kind of soil are you using for that guy? It looks like it changed since you started the grow log.

Thanks!

I actually haven't changed the soil, I think it could be because the soil is damp in previous pictures whereas in the latest ones the top layer is dry so the colour seems different.  As I recall (I don't have the bag it came in anymore), it's a peat based potting soil, I mixed some perlite in with it.  It's nothing special, just supermarket potting soil, but it's the only soil I could find that didn't have time-release fertilizers in it.  I need to buy some more tomorrow, so I'll let you know what it is exactly (provided I can translate everything of course ).

Nope. When you only remove the top leaves (you don't actually snip the stem) you'll get 2 stems in their place... It'll keep growing up. Trust me

Just don't cut too deep. Remove ONLY the leaves. No stem.

Wow 

Your dandruff.... She's gold....  Sheak your head!!!

 



Foilage monster!!

I guess it is also a goooood strategy for growing cutting stock.

Well I followed your advice and cut off the new growth at the top of Plant B.  She spent a while developing lower growth and extending her new branches, she's become very bushy and has since resumed vertical growth.  I can see something developing at the place where I cut her new growth, we'll see if they become branches.  Thanks for the suggestion in any case, it seems to have done her a lot of good.  Can I do the same to the topmost growth on her side branches to similar effect?

It's been a month since my last update so here are some pics of her now:








Plant A is growing slowly but steadily.  She started developing red spots on a few of her leaves, one of which has slowly started to dry up.  The red spots haven't spread to other leaves so I'm letting her do her thing for the time being.



I slowly accustomed both plants to the very low humidity levels around here and neither seems to have a problem with it.

Nice Plants!

They look quite happy!  How are they doing?

Mine:


They'll grow QUITE Large if you let them!
