remove all suckers and leaves below the first flower cluster, let the second stem rise from the node just above the lowest flower cluster, let the third stem arise from the second node above the first flower cluster. Get plants off the ground, give them room and a firm stake to hold them up. Another way of putting it would be to remove all suckers from between the stem and the original leaf growth and leave flower growths on the main stem only
