Cut them on a 45 degree slant to prevent the waterways from clogging and encouraging more water flow. You don't need to cut them much shorter. A simple 12 inch (1.3cm) trim will do. Make sure your scissors or pruners are clean before you cut the stems. If you can't cut the stems underwater in the vase, pull them out to trim them. Just return them to the water immediately after cutting them so they don't dry out.
