I have a succulent (not sure of the kind, but it has a stem and radiating leaves) and it keeps growing up tall, instead of out. The bottom leaves don't grow any bigger, it just keeps growing taller, and it's starting to lean.
Can I cut it back? If so, where exactly do I cut? And can I propagate from the cuttings?
Thanks

Removing the terminal bud (top) will cause auxilliary buds (side) to sprout, creating a bushier plant. Auxilliary buds are located by the leaves. Don't cut below the last leaf.
Succulents will root on moist soil (even individual leaves) and in water. Depending on the cut, you could get several plants.

Not really that is pretty much just what they do,
when you see them in any office they look like
that. I think that they are ugly, I would never
have one because you can't correct them at all!
