No, in my opinion but I also love to prune some plants that I feel need it to live longer, so it is totally up to you, motherhood is beautiful 😍 🤪

Up to you, honestly you’ll have more plants that way if you decide to try and propagate but you could also get a taller plastic pot and try to burry it all the way to the top just to make it look fuller lol

You don’t need to cut this plant, if you do it would be more aesthetic choice.
