I've been meaning to repot this into a bigger pot but it's growing leggy. Should I separate the babies at the bottom and what do I do with it or keep it leggy ?

    More light makes it less leggy. If you can place it closer to your east facing or west facing window.

      Agreed; the mother I have that grew up in low light is very tall and sparse; the two pups that grew up in an east and west facing window are very full with a much shorter stem.

    What you can do is highly dependent on what you are looking for. I have one that is very bushy in appearance because I left the babies to grow. I also have one thst is very tall and 'leggy'. I like the look of both. The leggy one gives me a palm tree vibe. If you decide to cut the mom. You'll get new growth just bellow the cut and the trimmed plant can be propagated for a second plant (this is why I have two). )
