It is a small house plant. I want it to grow bigger however the stem always turn black and dies after I trim it. I have been cutting about 2 or 3 inches from the top of the stem leaving many leaves below it. I have tried varying how close I come to the offshoots of leaves below my cutting line. However, the stem always turns black and dies after about a week. I am only cutting one stem every once in a while so the rest of the plant is flourishing, but that one stem, with all its fresh leaves, just begin to wither and die. Any advice would be of great assistance. Thanks.
