Help! She’s growing so tall and has become top heavy. What can I do? There is a sprout coming up out of dirt too.

I broke the top of mine and propagated it. Now I have 2 plants!

I’d chop and prop for sure, you can add it back and make it fuller when it’s ready or do as others said and have two. Chopping should encourage branching

When I chopped mine it sent out two new branches plus I added the prop back to the pot so it really filled out!

Im soooo new to this! So the oldest part of plant is the top, cut just below that and put in water??? Appreciate the guidance

So in this picture you could cut at any of the places I put a red line. Then I’d also pull off the lowest leaf just so it had a longer stem. Let the cut dry out a bit (this helps prevent rot) then I would recommend rooting in water if it’s your first time. You could stick it right into soil but I’ve had better luck putting it in a vase of water and topping off the water as it evaporates. I fully change the water if it looks cloudy or dirty. Once the roots are an inch or more long then I plant it back with the mother or start a new plant. It’s so fun to watch the roots grow on the cutting and to see the new growth on the mother!
