Problem: Article: Oftentimes, dracaena species have 1 main stem and a few additional stems. If one of the stems grows out to the side and looks unattractive, cut the stem off using your pruning shears. You can either cut it at the base of the plant to remove the entire stem, or cut the stem to your desired height. The stem will grow a new branch at its new height. While this is optional, it will keep your plants looking neat and compact. If you want a small, round dracaena plant, use your pruning shears to cut off just the top of the stem. Make your cut based on your desired height, though it can be between to of the total stem length. This encourages new branches to grow near the new top of the stem. Keep in mind that pruning is optional with dracaena plants. If you want your plants to look full and luscious, let it grow throughout the season and prune it next year if you'd like. Let the stems grow and see where the branches form. You have the ability to customize your dracaena. However, once your plants reach the ceiling, you may want to at least trim the leaves! Look at your stem to see its growth direction, and angle your pruning shears so they are at a 45-degree angle at the stem. Tighten your shears quickly to make a clean cut.

Always make a mark of the item you sell, price you sold it for, and your total profit on this item. Then, at the end of every month you can tally these totals and watch how your shop grows over time. If you are a visual person, you can create graphs using the information you gather from your sales. If you have receipts from your sales/purchases, keep them all on file together so that you don't lose track of anything you may have bought or sold. You can advertise your product and shop without ever even leaving Etsy. Promote your items by paying a fee of $7.00 to have them be the first to show up in search results, comment on Etsy blog posts with your shop URL, and contact other shop owners for advice and opinions. Join an Etsy team - a group of other sellers on Etsy with common interests. You will be able to ask questions, exchange advice, and give opinions about the buying/selling/marketing process.

If you want to advertise to a new audience, contact a popular blog that focuses on items and shopkeepers similar to your business.
