Just treat them like any other stem plant. If you make a cut between a stem node, it will branch out two stem from that cut area. And then just top the cut stem.

No worries, we all started somewhere.

When you look at a stem plant, and run up the stem, there will be a little ball every couple of milimetres. That is a node. If you look carefully, between every node, the stem will branch out from either side. Those branches will contain the leaves.

Leave at least 3 -5 nodes prior to trimming though. I would hate to see you kill off your plant by trimming them too short.
