Smile Re: Too tall for space

Good problem to have in the winter
This is what I started to do because of plant height and have had good results.
I cut most of my plants leaves in half when I bring them in my basement.
This does two things.....cut down on plant height and decrease the plants footprint (on the ceiling) in my limited area, this also lets more light in for the "understory" plants.
This seems to work for me.
Currently my Orinocos are the tallest at 12 feet with all the rest at 4 to 8 feet.
The understory plants are colocasia , alocasia brugs, Sdc's and assorted ferns.
