Aw bless you Maggy!!! ;D Is it in flower now, if so I'm assuming it's a group 2 - the leaves look group 2 anyway. I would guess first off that it's Elsa Spath because of the dark stamens. It's a beauty whatever it is!!

Well don't prune it until after flowering, and cut it back to a MAXIMUM of about a half. If you prune carefully, and do the stems at different lengths, you'll get flowers spread fairly evenly across the plant next year, and possibly some in the autumn this year.  |

Nah you need to do it before Autumn Maggy so it can produce the new shoots to flower from next year, or in the autumn ;D I'm glad you think I'm right, because I'm fairly confident too  |
