It’s cute. Now, it’s time to propagate to make it full in a pot! I would leave 2 leaves on her and propagate the rest by cutting the vine between each leaf. Put those in water, add fertilizer when the roots appear and plant back into a pot with the mother plant. You need several plants in a pot to get the full look.

Also, add a grow light above it. The large gaps between the leaf nodes indicate it’s trying to find light or water. It doesn’t look dry. So, it’s trying to find more sunlight. More light will bring out the variegations.
