This is Lili, lil for short, and I have recently revived this poor thing but she’s still not looking her best, leggy and leaning plus probably a few other things, any suggestions of what I should do would help, I’ve already got a good watering schedule and I think enough light, thanks in advance! ;)

Yeah polka dot plants are a bit tricky! They seem to do better with bottom-watering so avoid rotting the leaves at the bottom of the stem

You can chop to the smallest leaves at bottom and propagate the cutting in a glass jar terrarium with soil and a perlite bottom layer. You could actually take 2 cuttings from that stem. Soon they’ll root and you can repot the cuttings with the mama for a fuller plant ☺️ I just posted a pic of mine
