Too many growths / bad placement
Hey all, I've been doing quite well with my Clowesia Jumbo Grace and was hoping for lots of new growths after my last blooming, but by "lots" I was thinking more around 6, maybe 8, since on the last season I had three growths push from the previous two bulbs (I was figuring around 2-3 new growths per mature growth)... Well, this year things got a little nuts. On the last flowering, I got 11 spikes, which was a big surprise... But now I have 13 new growths pushing - which is amazing, but also poses some challenges since at least 3 (really 4) are really high up on the old bulbs. For some of the highest growths, I don't see how they'll be able to root down and still be viable.
I don't know what to do with them, I'm tempted to cut them off even though that pains me to do so. I thought about planting it on it's side, but that would completely bury the older backbulbs at the bottom of the pot to do so, and overall, it might just make the whole plant look fairly odd. I know whatever I do, I have to make a choice soon as the roots are starting to push. Any suggestions? I want to keep this plant displaying nicely and I just can't decide on the best way to do it.
