Summarize the following:
If you have a plant that is growing out of control and is wider than you’d like, you can remove the outer edges of the plant by cutting the stems and leaves to the base. This will control the area taken up by the plant and allow you to access interior growth more easily.  Try to maintain the shape of the flower in a circle to ensure easy access to all sides of the flower. These plants can easily grow to be up to 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter, so refrain from planting other flowers in the surrounding area. Bird of Paradise flowers can grow to be extremely tall. If you have very tall shoots, use a ladder placed on stable ground to cut the dead stems in half. Once they’ve been halved, climb down from the ladder and cut the stems to the base of the plant. Always be careful on the ladder! You might need a friend or neighbor to hold it steady while you’re trimming to avoid getting hurt with the shears. If your plant is too dense and crowded with dead foliage and growth for you to reach the center, use a large pruning saw to cut the entire plant about 1 foot (0.30 m) off of the ground. This will give you space to clear out the foliage and allow for new growth.  When using the saw, work slowly. If you hit a particularly dense area, use your pruning shears to pre-cut some of the stems to make the area a little easier to cut through. A Bird of Paradise that is trimmed in this way will normally grow back within 1-2 blooming seasons if treated with water and fertilizer.

summary: Trim the outer ring of growth using your pruning shears. Use a ladder to access tall stems on more mature plants. Tame an out-of-control Bird of Paradise using a pruning saw.

Summarize the following:
When you first started this relationship, trust was not immediate. Trust has to be earned over time. It is natural that when trust is broken, it will take some time to repair.  Try not to rush the process. Acknowledge that the other person might need time to start trusting you again. State your point. Try saying, "I know that this process might take time. I understand. Take all of the time you need." Try not to dwell on the situation. It's important, but once you have apologized and started taking steps to repair the trust, you don't need to think about the situation constantly. If you are trying to repair a personal relationship, it might feel like a very complicated process. You are likely going to feel a wide range of emotions. Remember that the other person might be emotional, too.  It is normal for you to feel guilt, grief, sadness, and frustration. Give yourself permission to feel a wide range of emotions. Acknowledge your emotions and move on. Say to yourself, "Today I'm feeling pretty guilty. But I know I'm taking steps to fix it, so I can't be too hard on myself." Understand that your friend is probably experiencing a wide array of emotions. They might be hurt, angry, or sad. That is normal. When trust has been compromised, it is possible to repair the relationship. However, it is important to understand that the dynamics might change. Be prepared to have a different relationship than before.  Maybe you have violated your boss's trust. Be prepared to accept a lower level of responsibility at work for a while. If you have compromised the trust in your romantic relationship, you might not be as close as you were before. Your partner might not trust you with intimate feelings for a while. Perhaps you are dealing with a damaged friendship. You might have to accept the fact that your friendship is more superficial than it was before. If you break someone's trust, there is a good chance that you can make amends. But you should know that the relationship might be damaged beyond repair. Try to mentally prepare for a variety of outcomes.  Accept the fact that you might have to move on. If someone doesn't want to be your friend anymore, you can't force them. Try to find something positive in your life to focus on. Make a list of all of the things you have going for you. Spend time with other people. Focus on enhancing the relationships that you still have.
summary: Be patient. Acknowledge emotions. Create a new relationship. Prepare for various outcomes.
