Hey, this is my purple passion plant she has grown quite a bit and I’ve put some stakes to help support. Should I be trimming or propagating her?

You can definitely trim her up to help the plant be more bushy instead of tall and leggy. A chop and prop also might also help the leaves have an easier time transpiring all the moisture in the soil, especially if there will be new cuttings rooting in the same pot. Rooting hormone is a great way to help cutting root, good luck!
