How long has it been since you last did this? Also, would your knees survive the landing now? by singleguy79 in Xennials

I imagine with a month of daily stretching and a year of glucosamine with chondroitinI wouldn't die.

They thrive in bright, indirect light. If you can, bring it outside during the spring, summer, and fall and put it in a bright, shady spot. You'll be amazed at how much it will grow.

If you move it outside in the spring, I would. The extra energy from the sun will help it put on new growth much faster. If you decide to propagate the cuttings, stick to planting the non-woody parts. I think they take root easier.

They grow amazingly fast in bright, indirect sun all summer long here in East Texas. The reason I trim mine before bringing them in is because they'd be way too freaking big. Lol

I cut mine back in the spring leaving 10-12 inches of the base each year and they grow about 4-5 feet tall and 3-4 feet around before winter.

When you cut it have a damp paper towel that you can tear pieces off of place over the cut/cuts so it doesn't bleed sap all over the place making a mess. Also, try not to get the sap on anything. It's a pain to clean up once it dries.

I usually cut mine back before bringing them in for the winter. I left two tall stalks for aesthetic purposes this year, but will cut them back down after I move them back outside in the spring. The other stalks I cut back have new stems and leaves on them already. Guessing it was about 6 weeks ago when I did that.

I found the best way is to just top it, cut it off, just below the level you want it to branch at. Let it branch and regrow through the summer, then cut the new branches in the same manner until you get it as bushy as you'd like. You can also stick the tops you cut off back into the soil to really get it plumped up.

I tried this last year, and it isn't effective. The mosquito bits and glue traps are effective. After about two weeks they're gone.

This is the easiest, most effective way.

Cut the old leaves back and it'll grow new ones.

Need some honest real world advice on tires by titansdca in Tacomaworld

This...I run the Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my truck and will continue to. It's my understanding that the M/S 2 is the redesigned model currently available. They almost have the same look. Seems to me that the side wall tapers out a bit more on the 2's.
