Well it grew too tall so onto “Flopping”
For those who have never done this here are some quick pics on what i do, and its best to do this before a watering rather than after one as the plant is more malleable when low on water.
First pick a node where you want to have the top flopped over at, this is typically where the rest of the plant can catch up and make a more even canopy.
Next plan and think which way you want the top to flop over to typically this will be whatever direction that will allow that top to fill a hole of empty space or just to get down and out of the way with out blocking any side shoots till it pops back up.
Once i’ve determined that i pinch and crunch the stem for a couple centimetres worth typically causing the stem wall segments to split vertically and when flattened the flat of the now pinched stem will be perpendicular to the direction i want to lay the top over.
You usually have to massage and roll the stem a bit just to make it relatively limp so it stays down on its own and to avoid causing any snapping or horizontal stem damage which can be detrimental, also tucking the top below some lower fan leaves is a handy tip to help it stay down a bit longer as it has to work to get past them, if your plant is healthy and mid stretch it will be literally back up and going after your light source in a few hr to a day or two.
And here’s how the plant looks after being flopped, it will be back up in the next day or so and ill grab a picture then to show how it rebounds and the other side shoots start to fight for light.
