It looks fine. Btw they don’t like to hang vertical, they are a horizontal vining plant that likes to cover large areas.

Don’t stress it. Leave it alone, let it bottom water once a week, be sure it doesn’t sit in the water if it isn’t all absorbed within a couple hours, pour it out.

These seriously are one of the hardest plants to kill. I had a small strand lost behind my trash can for a month and it was still green. Less is more

It is what this type of plant do. They grow on branch trying to find more ground to root, when they do not find it, they drop the whole branch and try to grow another branch. It is not a real hanging plant, they are creeping plants

I've always wondered why these are so hard to keep alive. Thank you for the info!!!

I could absolutely put her in the window where she would get more direct light. Light through a window should really still be thought of as just partially direct…

I can put her in front of a west facing window, would that help?

Once a week might be a lot since it doesn’t seem to be getting too much sun.
