Sharon, I have several of these plants. They are amazing when they are in bloom so you might be happy that you have more than one. Yes, you can prune the tall shoots if you want to lower the stems, but they tend to have that growth pattern.

This picture is a bit blurry but shows the tall growth that this plant has. It is called Epiphyllum oxypetalum, and it's old name which is no longer in use is called "Night-blooming Cereus." It is often commonly called "Queen of the Night."
