Aloha from Hawaii,

Looks like some of you folks have experience with Epis. I've been growing for about five years and have taken cutting successfully. Now my parent plants are getting large, toppling over and filling our front deck. Will be over 100 blooms this year.

My question - once they have finished blooming I want to cut them back (and of course get more cuttings). How far back can I cut them and still not loose the blooms for next year. Do I just take the top 6 - 12 inches off each leaf or trim everything back to about 12 inches above the soil line. Or do I just try something different with each plant. Love to do a trade by my are unnamed. Here are a couple, plus an attempt at a panorama shot of my plants
