This plant has grown very ,very leggy.It's long and has grown up and over and down & over the pot.It has babies under almost every set of leaves.I will show you more picture's.It was so big and tangled up with other plants i had to cut it out and the first picture is what was left of the bottom of the stem,so there was no choice but to cut it into piece's.My question now is what to do with it.Should i remove big leaves and lay it down flat on soil or will the peices root from the ends in soil.I have done both and i did let them callous over first.Hoping they will root standing up.If that's unclear let me know and i will take pictures to post of what i have in soil.

In the 3rd picture there's a purplish colored rosette that has grow leggy and has a few rosettes at the ends if i cut these off to have shorter stems,callous them and put the in soil will they root from the stem or do i need to put the rosette in the soil to root.Thumb of 2012-08-09/jojoe/d072f9

These last 2 pictures,the 1st. one is the top and the 2nd is the rest of the plant!It's also gotten so long and twisted i don't know what to do with these plants.That's why I'm hoping i can cut them smaller to root them and then i will have enough plant to share and still make myself a couple nice pots.

Any advice is greatly appreciated and needed.I have more picture but i don't want to bombard everyone with these pictures.
If i can figure out what to do with these plants,let me know if anyone is interested in them! Hurray! plants are for sharing
Thank you
