I've had this Krimson Queen(?) for a couple months or so now, and the white and pink stem/white leaves are growing so much. Is there a point it's too much and hurts the plant, and I should chop? ♥️ Thank you for any help
Not that I’m aware of mine is 8 years old in the same pot she came in (it was huge I should have repotted but didn’t know) now SHE IS HUGE! This one is on my wish list for sure. She’s gorgeous and they like being a bit crowded, I’ve learned from this group. So if it were me I’d only crop and prop IF you want more plants.
In regard to the solid white leaves.. most people will tell you to cut them to help the energy of the plant but I just love the way they look so much that I leave them. Lol They will end up falling off on their own at some point anyway. But to each their own I suppose. 😉

if you want to encourage growth elsewhere, you can chop the fully white stem so it stops producing more white leaves. it could still
throw more, but i doubt that shoot will
produce anything green.

I never chop off white leaves.
