Bird of Paradise Plant

Question

My Bird of Paradise plant has been kept in a warm porch for 5 years, although this summer it has been out of doors until now. It flowered for the first time early this year. It has grown very tall and I am thinking of repotting it. Can I cut down the leaves? It also looks as though it could be divided down by the roots. What would you suggest?
