I am not experienced with plants and have just been given a 40 yr old house plant from my father. It is a Philodendron bipinnatifidum (Tree Philodendron, Cut-Leaf/Split-Leaf Philodendron, Lacy Tree Philodendron, Selloum)... according to your website. This plant - given it's age - has a very very long trunk and tons of vines growing off the trunk. Due to the length of the trunk it is now growing almost horizontally. I was wondering if it is wise (or possible) to do some plant surgery - essentially hosing off the root ball and cutting half the trunk off (leaving many of the root vines growing from it) and replanting it so it sits upright. I love this plant but want it to sit upright. I also would feel horrible for killing the thing given how long my father had it. Thoughts? Hi there, wonderful site!
