Support or prune the branches?

Hollo! The branches of My Purple Heart have been breaking. This one makes three this week, all about the same size and weight. I'd heard I could let them grow like a curtain, but I don't know if that's the case with this one. Should I prune it? Since it's grown so much, it has less volume than before up top, and I don't want to lose it all. Is there any kind of support for this?

These girls are super easy to propagate! Take the cuttings or healthy breaks and put directly in moist soil.. even inside! I have them all over! And they self propagate so likely that’s what she’s trying to do but she’s not on the ground for her breaks to replant themselves!

The Purple Heart plant is a very easy to grow fine Plant each piece that breaks off can be replanted and make another plant. My friend just sent me a shipload of them which I had already growing at my house so since growing season is coming to an end, I put them in a face of water

I put in a vase of water to let them rest and grow roots over the winter season and then I’ll plant them in soil to make a lot of new babies so don’t be worried just put in some water keep the water cleaned by next season you’ll have a lot of new plants so many you will be wanting to get them away
