Now there's a good tangent to start a new thread on, something we haven't discussed much in this forum unless I missed it in some very old threads - training our Neos.

So what do folks here do by way of training Neos? So far I've only started with a few, basically just using bamboo skewers to get stray leaves to line up in the same plane as the rest of the leaves in a fan, but I imagine there's much more to it than just vertical alignment, especially for the perfectionists among us.
