Wow! That's a gorgeous flower!

If you find that they are getting too big for your needs, you can certainly chop them back a bit and root the cuttings. You are right that it is tough to root cuttings in the fall and winter, but if you keep the soil fairly dry and warm, you should not have any problems. You can root the smaller cuttings in a one-gallon container, but often the bigger cuttings need a two-gallon or three-gallon container. I have heard that the bigger cuttings can actually root faster in some cases. Heat and lots of it is the most important thing for rooting cuttings. Light is second to heat in my opinion.

Here's a picture that belongs to Paula. She stores her's for the winter too.
