Tiffany, the widest span sits at prox 6'8", but it's got a flat side. Actually the sprawling growth really works for how I use it, so my preference would be to leave it. I had other plants growing up through it. This was a funeral plant that a co-worker gave me when my brother died. It consisted of 12 unrooted stems all fancied up and sold as a plant. I've seen that before and it's my belief that a green plant should have roots, which is what the coworker thought they were buying. In any case, it was not doing well and I went to repot it and discovered it all consisted of cuttings without roots. Only one rooted and it's the one running along the floor. It always grew at a slant and when it put out other growth gradually did what you see here. I'm still thinking about it, but the four long stems are likely to be cut below the other branches that are there. Maybe about 6-8" shorter than the tip of those not being cut. I'm not minding too much because two of the long branches tried to bloom, but didn't manage due to my lackadaisical winter care last year and now one of the other long ones has that nubby end. Also, one of the long stems has quit growing variegated leaves. Trimming that back to where it's still variegated should retain the variegated growth.
