Betty, most of us cut the angel trumpets at the end of the year. As they never come true from seed, if we ever get a seed pod. So at the end of the year, just cut the plants down in about 8 inch segments. They can be rooted if you place them in a cup of sphagnum moss, and keep it moist, or a glass of water till it roots, or you can place the cuttings directly in soil, and keep it moist. Once you see young shoots, you know it is rooted. If you have them in water or the moss, plant them when they get roots. Then you will have a nice start on plants for next spring. One problem a lot of us have, is they get spider mites while indoors. Just get some spray and keep it handy. They grow a lot in one year. This is my angel trumpet raised bed, and it is all new growth this year. The tallest one on left end is about 5 foot right now.
