Re: cutting pseudo stem to reduce height of indoor container plant?
My Black Thai was over 8 ft. tall, so I cut the stem down to about 1/2. Instead of cutting it straight off, I carefully cut each ring of the pseudostem removing each leaf, until I got to the internal leaf that was presently shooting up. The leaf is now to the point of almost ready to unroll, and hopes that the plant will have moderate growth through the winter. But if it does keep pushing out leaves, I've go about 5 ft. of ceiling clearance now.
