I have limited space so when bringing my plants inside as fall arrives this year and considering the number of plants I now own its probably going to be a two day affair figuring out where to put them. Not including the time spent with AutoCAD. This Cymbidium was photographed three years ago and is about 4' across. I now have 5 of them and although three are mini's it will be a challenge fitting them all in. My question is, although it might be heartless, would it be safe for the two big plants, if I were to cut their leaves off to maybe 1' in length?
