Looks like it might be from some overwatering and too big of pot, what kind of soil do you use?

All purpose

Yeahhhh, so here’s my suggestion

Take it out of that pot, find a 2 inch or 3 inch terracotta pot. Get some cactus succulent soil from Target or fox farm brand, add in some extra perlite and orchid bark to make it a cereal-like chunky texture. Cut off any mushy brown roots. Repot the plant in there and don’t water till a week later. Then leave it be for about two weeks and see how it does.

Orrrrr, since it’s one vine, and you might want a fuller plant. You can push the potting out, cut up the vine into one or two node cuttings with leaves attached for photosynthesis, plop them in cups of water with a tiny trickle of hydrogen peroxide, and wait for them to root. Then once they are rooted, do the same repot procedure. 😬

Those itty bitty new leaves are screaming for more light.
