Plant identification & management help!

Hi everyone,
I'd be grateful if someone could tell me the name of this plant and also any tips on how to tame the stems! They are taking up so much room - is it okay to tie them loosely together or is there another way?
Thanks everyone!

I think that‘s a small alocasia odora. And it sometimes takes a lot of place in your house

Thanks for the reply! Finally good to know what type it is now so thank you!

This looks like Caladium. This plant may be "leggy" looking because she needs a brighter spot with diffused sunlight. I would probably put this plant outside in the shade after watering and letting the water flush out of the bottom drain holes of your pots several times.

These plants like well drain moist soil and open shade. I don't know what season it is in the UK right now, but I prune back my house plants and put my house plants outside in the summer where they are in a shady spot with lots of fresh air circulation.
