One for @Matt , probably, but happy for anyone to answer.

This is the only longstanding plant I've ever had - only the second to ever last beyond a few weeks. Purchased just before the start of CoVid reached the UK, it's now 4.25 years old which is a remarkable feat by my standards.  [Most of the stalks are getting thinner and thinner, though, so unfortunately its days are numbered.]

Ordinarily, when it gets too long, I cut it in half - above a node to see if any re-growth appears in the lower half (95% of the time it doesn't and the lower half dies) and then re-plant the upper half after cutting below a node.

On this occasion, for two parts of the plant, I cut the upper half off just below a node and re-planted it but forgot to cut close to the node on the lower half - and, on both occasions, tiny new leaves *are* starting to appear which is promising.  My questions are:
* have I been doing this incorrectly all along and this is what I should have done, and leave it be?
* ought I to trim back the ~1cm at the top so that I'm cutting down to just above the node and its newly sprouting leaves?

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply, I think I'm just being a bit panicky (if that's a word)
Doesn't seem to be getting worse and have heard if I only have male endlers there might be a bit of squabbling.

Water quality looks good, so keep up the good work on regular water changes, etc, to ensure it stays like this.

I don't see any particular problem, but am not very familiar with endlers.  That said, the best way to ensure they're ok is optimum water quality, and it can take some time for fins to grow back if there is a problem, so I think just keep monitoring the situation and comparing photos from week to week.
