Answer

The first thing to understand is that most varieties produce flowers from the end of the stems and some also from the leaf axils at the top of the stem. Therefore grow a plant with many stems. This is a very simple procedure. From a cutting of two or three inches tall remove the growing tip, when the new growth is a similar size remove the growing tips again, this time it may be as many as six or even eight stems requiring the tips to be removed. This can be done a number of times, it's up to you. After removing a growing tip single flowering varieties will take on average about eight weeks and double flowering varieties ten weeks.
