Anybody know the name?

Also, is it safe to cut it back?

I kinda like it, but need your advice before hacking.

OK, someone said the pic wasn't good enough, so will this give the NG
a better ID on the plant?

Can I plant it deep? Or cut off the top & hope more will grow out of
stem? Or cut off roots and hope what's left will root? I don't want
to bother with layering

TIA
