I purchased a plant of Sinningia - Xanadu (x self) at the DAVS convention and actually ended up with seedpod from which I got oddles of plants. Now I am trying to decide what to do with the mama plant. It has grown and bloomed beautifully. Now it seems kind'a overgrown to me.

The photo shows what it looks like presently. There are several good size suckers under those large browning leaves; can I cut the main stem near the bottom and root it as I would an AV; but let the suckers form a multi-headed plant. I have no idea what a properly grown plant looks like.
