i was wondering if i could just cut/break these plants in half or smaller so i have more smaller plants since these r both of my plants that r growing the fastest.

(both types of plants in the back/side part i forgot the names of them :blush: )

I'm no expert on plant identification, but the roots coming out of the sides of the stem are a giveaway as to how these plants propagate. With these kinds of plants each node (spot on the stem where leaves come out) can either grow into leaves or into roots, so just snip some off of the top of your plants (at least 3-4 nodes), strip the leaves off of the bottom node or two, and stick that bottom part into your substrate. New roots will grow out of the nodes where the leaves once were.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

P.S. - I love your ram!
