I have had this plant for a couple of years and it is the same. I don't know what type of plant it is. What do I need to do?

Agleonema silver bay! The pot looks too big for the plant and it's roots imo. Too big a pot can slow the drying process and lead to root issues. They are pretty tolerant of different lighting conditions but id cut back the watering if it's in a lower light area

How do I ptogate them?

Similar to philodendron I'd say. Cut between nodes and wait for a day so the cut can callus over. Also be aware because they produce oxalic acid that can irritate the skin if they're cut. I've seen people water and moss propagate them, but I've never done it before
