Hello! I’m pretty new to plants and have a bit of a problem. I recently received this succulent from my boyfriend. As you can see it’s clearly gotten way too big and can no longer support itself. Would it be alright to chop this at some point on its stem and replant it? Any help with this would be appreciated!!

You absolutely can! I think you could probably even propagate a few leaves from the midsection!
