This Thaumatophyllum is really big. It’s like 4 feet across by 3 feet high, and the leaves are 6 inches across. How do I prune it, or prop it up in some fashion that will make it more beautiful and take up less space? It’s just going wild now.

    take off some of those bottom leaves. this also appears to be multiple plants in one pot, i would check and separate them if so. if you're going to chop, chop somewhere in the middle of the stem. you can give it a trellis or another kind of pole for it to climb up, which will give it a more put together look.

      Does this plant climb on a moss pole?
