Put it in a chunkier soil mix and a smaller pot. Also make sure it doesn’t get any direct sunlight.

Agree that pot is very big for that little guy.

OP: You can also wrap the bald stems around the pot and gently pin them down with twist ties or bobby pins to hold the node areal root against the soil so they root and help make more vines/bushier plant

I’ve had amazing results using Bobby pins to do this! Within a couple weeks the plants changed drastically for the better!

Maybe chop and prop if all hope is lost

The roots have to dry up all the water in the soil before the roots rot. So, the pot should be about 1/4 the width of this current pot.
