Really long branches. Has anyone dealt with really long branches on their Phyllanthus Mirabilis? One of mine has grown really long branches; one branch is 1 1/2 ft long amg the plant's branches spread around 2-3 feet around. The long branches look like normal growth and not the leggy kind. Should I just cut the branches off to the length I like?
