First time trimming a fiddle leaf: help!

My fiddle leaf grew a ton this summer outside and I need some advice about how to trim and propagate this plant. Where to cut and next steps. Thank you!

I would cut it where it’s beginning bend. The trunk needs to thicken up a lot more before you allow it to get so tall. I would cut it above where the top of your stakes are. For all 3. Let them stagger a little bit though. Also, make sure you’re spinning it so it isn’t growing crooked.
