Hi hi 👋🏼 I have bought a new Chinese money plant and it’s quite leggy and I’ve done research, and it says to prune / cut the leggy ones off but I’m scared! And have no clue where to cut? I will be propagating these too. Please help!

I have some older ones that are now quite leggy so I’d love to know too!

They are super forgiving when it comes to propagations! You can literally just chop the main stem below all the leaves, leave the bottom half in the soil to grow new leaves, and put the top half in water til it grows strong roots.
