I’m not sure what to do about this plant. I rescued her from a self-watering pot that was creating mold on her surface. While new leaves are coming in, I’m still a bit concerned that’s she isn’t getting as bushy as her fellow plants. Any tips here would help, and I do think maybe the pot is too big?

Hello! I just got the same plant from a garage sale !  
I think the pot is too big I would try downsizing the pot and try a pebble tray for humidity  
Maybe try propagating some on the same soil? Someone had just told me to do that on a post I just made yesterday about it !  
Here is mine for reference!

Agree, pot looks big, I have the same plant (GG) and she grows pretty fast \& easy!!

I went ahead and swapped her down to a smaller pot and she seems a little happier
