Any advice is welcome. Cheears
So is it only 1 meter tall right now? My tallest was about a meter tall when it first flowered. Do you take it outside during the summer, and what are your summers like? For best flowering they should be warm, humid, and sunny. I wouldnt cut it back unless it is absolutely necessary since it will delay potential flowering for at least a year. If you have to cut it, I would wait until it goes outside in the spring.
