Now that I have picked off most of the babies. Is it a concern that the top will get too heavy? Does it make sense to chop off the full top at the skinny part now and replant the whole top as a cutting?
If you chop it you have to think of how weird it’ll look and if you’re ok with losing half the plant if the prop fails.
I recommend putting it into a brighter window if one exists in your space. Or maybe add a grow light for an hour or two a day. Plants stretch out and get top heavy like this when they lack the sun needed to be thick and hearty. If you leave it as is it may just keep pushing out pups for you.
Plant the pups butt side down but in a pot that’s full of perlite or succulent soil mix.
water it only when they start to shrivel a bit in a month and sprout some roots.
