Hey there gal I need your advice about this giant Pointsetta that will NOT die. It is now 3 years old and the stocks are as big as my thumb BUT it is way tooo big. How do I cut it down and start some new (smaller) ones from it?? I have never done this before but I have too as it is enormous and is taking over the whole corner of my sunroom.
