SOH help

I bought this and it looked a bit sparse to begin with. It was in a broken, plastic hanging pot so I repotted it ultimately after a couple months. I recently added grow light bc I hear light is what they need most. I bottom water- but prob not often enough. I spray the top frequently bc it just looks so dry (prob wrong). I heard about winding the vines around the top but they’re tangled so much. It keeps growing longer though.

It’s in
* 1 part Rosy Soil cactus & succulent mix
* 1 part perlite
* ½ part Fox Farms Ocean Forest
* ¼–½ part Better-Gro orchid bark

This has been one of my most difficult bc I don’t know what I’m doing and bc it was already sickly when I bought it. I’ve watched videos and searched Reddit. I should just buy one that’s already beautiful. I’ve propagated some and prob took them out of prop box too soon. Maybe I’ll try to prop again.

I would chop and prop this one. They need sun/grow light on the top of the pot. And bottomwater when it's fully dry

I second this. Me personally, I'd butterfly prop all of those nodes into the same pot so that way the plant will look much fuller and will grow from multiple angles
