My last batch of seedlings have developed nice little caudexes but none are showing signs of multiple growths so I took the bull by the horns and sliced the top off of one today in the hope of forcing more leads. I also placed the cut off top in a bit of Kelpak - perhaps it will root, who knows?
Both my main plants are putting out loads of new seed pods - I counted at least 11 pods on one of the plants!
