Are you keeping it close to a light source? I’ve found that plants tend to get leggy when they’re reaching for more light.

It’s right in front of a very sunny window :(

maybe try giving it a moss pole and a grow light and see if anything improves 🤞

It looks like a lighting issue to me as well. The plant gets leggy when it seeks light or water. The aerial roots are short and the plant does not look under watered. So, it’s likely it needs more light.

The sunny window it is in may not provide the intensity of light or the number of hours the plant needs. A grow light may be needed.
