Pruning Indoor Plant


Question
I have an umbrella tree which is now over 7' tall and as it has now reached the ceiling the top leaves have nowhere to go.  I have had this plant over 20 years.  How do I prune the leaves.  

Many thanks

Answer
Hi Jo,
You can just cut the plant down to where you want it. After you cut the top off the stem you can start a new plant by dipping the cut end in rooting hormone and put in fresh soil. In a few weeks the cutting will root.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions or need additional information please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks
Tracy
