I've had this pretty little "bamboo"/dracaena for around 4 years. The first 2, it was in a spot with not enough sun to help it grow, although it stayed alive and pretty. Since moving to a different location, in 2 more years it has grown way too tall for its container - which is just a vase with marbles and water in it.

Can anyone let me know what to do now? Can it be pruned and the cutting rooted or planted? Or what? - - Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
