Should I chop this thing? The bottom is looking way more full than the top 🥲

I like how it falls down the side of the shelving! I would just trim it to get props so that it stays long, and when the props have roots plant them back in the pot to make it bushier

Laying it along the shelf would look really good n zigzag it down the shelf as it grows but yes propagating the thicker part wouldn’t hurt
