Before and after… I kinda wish the plant on the right wasn’t leaning so much but the stem grew curved soooo 🥹

How do I prune this better next time? Any tips?

You can train it with some support. I actually use semi long wooden stick meant for making s’mores for all of mine. Even helped my cylindrical snake plant which was growing in all different directions; now they’re all pointing upwards. No choke string can help too.

You can cut it right there below where those roots are that are just hanging in the middle of nowhere and replant that
