I just got this huge cutting from marketplace, It has also fruit, flower and tons of ariel roots.
What is the best way for me to propogate this and should I cut it in half or many or just leave it as is for propagation? Thanks for your help

I’d leave as is. You might want to cut off the fuit and flower since they drain energy from the plant. You’ll have better chances of it surviving.
I wouldn’t dare. The trauma of being reported etc will take her a while to recover from. Give her a month or so to get her feet settled in the soil and then leaf propagate then.
When you snip a leaf, make sure it has an aerial root and get it going in water and propagate as usual.
Congrats on your new baby. She’s gorgeous 😍
Sorry for the confusion, this is just a cutting, It has no roots, Only ariel root. I just can’t decide what is the best way to put in the pot for it to grow roots.
Cut off the fruit and put in a 5 gallon bucket of water, bracing the plant up one way or another and hopefully it will take hold
Cut off the flowers and fruit major energy pullers there, and I’d honestly put in a 5gal bucket and prop it somehow. And wait patiently for it to grow some roots.
You cut it, then root it. Lol. Pro tips.
