I want to cut her to encourage her growth at the bottom.. where should I cut??

Anyone know why my ghost plant is doing this? I’ve had this plant since Mother’s Day and recently repotted into a bigger pot with drainage because it has grown a ton and now I just noticed this.

Graptopetalum Petandrum ‘Superbum’ Roots and Petals My Graptopetalum Petandrum’s roots don’t seem to be taking to its new soil, the soil is succulent soil and the plant has been in it for several weeks however it still moves loosely whenever touched. Before getting it on a watering schedule it was being watered too frequently and some of the petals fell off from the bottom. It hasn’t been watered since this started happening but could the overwatering be affecting the roots as well or is it something else?

Lots of growth - time to repot? I need help to properly care for or possibly repot my ghost plant. Before I started using this app my plant was on the way out until I started giving it the proper light & water. However, now it’s growing so much but the bottom leaves start to die off and I’m not sure this pot is the right size or type for this plant? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thank you! #NewGrowth #GhostPlant

Sharing Propagation Success- The ghost plant below started as 6 five inch cuttings. Once established, I punctured the stems with a tooth pick to encourage new growth. See below all of the new babies- this plant will be full and beautiful with patience! #GhostPlant

What is this coming out of the stem? It looks like roots. Hi! It looks like a root is growing out of the side of my baby ghost plant. What in the world would this mean, or could it be?

Poor baby is not doing so good but it was in regular dirt when it was given to me, with no drainage. Is it too late to try repotting in some succulent friendly soil? Any other advice?
