The plant has grown from 4 inches to over a foot in height. I need stakes to hold it up and it keeps sprouting. How do I cut in down and start new plants?

Happy gardening!
I have a succulent in a pot that was like a small tree. This afternoon I have noticed that it has fallen forward, I believe from the weight. What should I do to save it?
You may want to propagate the succulent with leaf cuttings to give your plant new life.
Here are links to help with this.

Should I cut off the vines after my succulent blooms? The vine is kind of long and once the flowers wither, should I leave the vine or cut if off? My succulent has 3 vines at the moment.
You can remove the flower stalk as close to the main stem without damaging the plant.
Is this Spittlebugs? This is on a plant I call Bears Claw.
Surely does look like spittlebugs work. Take a look at this article too: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/spittlebug-control.htm
My indoor succulent is dying and I don't know why. The leaves keep falling off and one of the stems has turned completely black. I don't think it's an over watering issue because I only water once or twice a week. I have read up on the dangers of over watering for succulents. I live in Arizona, but my plant stays indoors near a window that doesn't receive direct sunlight, but still lets the sun in. I use soil that is specifically made for cacti and succulents. Please help!
I'm not sure what kind of succulent you have, but this article might help:

Some succulents really need very little water. Even if it's not overwatered, your plant might need less water than usual in its weakened state. Water that it can't fully absorb might hurt the roots.
You should also check your plant for any visible insects on the leaves and stem.
This article is about cacti, but might help you identify the problem:

I'm moving out next weekend, and I have the choice between leaving my beloved (and rather prickly) succulent at home, or risk taking her with me. I've moved with her before and she needed to be replanted on arrival as she came loose from her pot. Does anyone have any advice on the best way to transport a succulent? I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing. It's a rather small plant, by the way. Thank you in advance!
I have had good luck moving a plant in a cardboard box that is as tall as the pot but shorter than the foliage. I packed newspaper in around the pot, then taped two sides of the box down to stabilize the pot. I taped the other two sides of the box up to protect the foliage.
Also make sure the temperature in the vehicle where the plant will be transported won't be freezing or broiling. If your move is going to take more that a day or two, so that you won't be able to care for the plant for a while, you could try the method of packaging plants for mailing described here:

What is the plant name in the picture in the link below on your site? My wife bought it and it had no name or tags and she wants to know what it is. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/scgen/hanging-succulent-plants.htm
This is a Rosary Succulent or String Of Hearts.
