just decide how many trunks you wanna end up w/ & cut the trunks into several pieces, keeping track of which end is up & which is down. this is important as you don't wanna mess up the plant water drinking abilities.

next stick the down end into water & the into the rooting powder. shake off the excess & plant the end powder & all into the dirt, mounding it up around the trunk to help support itself until roots develop. water plant & leave it int it's usual place in your home.

after a few weeks, you'll start seeing new growth every where you made a cut. by then there will be roots as well.

it won't kill the tree, just give it a new boost on life. i did this to a cornplant, about 10 yrs ago & it's really lovely. was about 5 feet tall & spindly & really uglt looking. now it's got 7 or 8 trunks & is nicely leafed out.\

and 2 of the trunks are ones that grew up which were not orginal trunks. good luck w/ your baby, lil.
