Guess I should have asked a couple of questions first, eh? How long were your cuttings ( inches?) Did you remove all but about 4-5 leaves including the new leaf bud? I am going to assume they were rooted in water. It wouldn't hurt to pull one of the plants up and check the roots. Have they formed new roots since they were potted? If so, shorten stem from bottom and any lower leaves you can. Repot much deeper and see if there is a change. Woody stems take time to develop...maybe one to two years. Try rooting directly into soil next time and don't be afraid to take an older (1-2 year growth) shoot to start with. Does this make better sense? Glad to help Norm
