Ok so I decided to see if this would climb because it was growing so fast but now it seems to be unhappy. Any suggestions?

It looks thirsty

With so much space between leaves, may need more light. May want to trim it up and propagate

Interesting - I’ve never heard this being the cause of spacious leaf distribution. Good to know!

Yes, if it’s sparse and green, usually light issue. If sparse and yellow,mushy would probably be water issue.
