This is my Vanilla plant. As you can see it is almost reaching the floor. What is the best way to propagate this plant? It is doing so well I don’t want to hurt it. Thanks for helping!!

You can prop them by cuttings. Also if you're hoping to get flowers at some point, keep some length and just train it to go up and down as needed; these get like 60+ feet long and need to reach a certain length before they'll bother to bloom

Thank you so much!! Great information!!
1 likeIf you don’t want to cut, you can “pin” some of the plant back in the pot. I have taken a floral pins(or you can even use like a paper clip and bend it to a U shape) and pinned trailing plants back in the dirt and let the rest hang back down so it “looks” shorter and fuller without cutting and propagating. You can even pin several parts of the plant: like go down a foot, then pin that part in the soil, let trail a foot, then pin again etc. The pinned parts will even sometimes root into the dirt where you can remove the pins eventually.
