Trim stems at an internode and new growth will branch out. Floating stems for a couple days can give good branched growth too.

I like to nip the buds off fast growth plants when I do my water changes.

A spot where a leaf, branch, or root grows. If you pinch it off right above a leaf, it is likely to produce two branches there.
