I would start with cutting the vines down to let her grow again. Maybe repot some back into the soils at the nodes so they root and let it get healthy. It’s putting too much energy into those vines that have no leaves. Cut and prop. You’ll love it after a while and it will love you!

Never propagated before, here goes nothing!

Cut off the bare vines low as shown. Propagate the cuttings in water. Remove all the dead bits. Give it a couple of weeks to settle in. Then, repot into fresh soil. Upsize to a pot two inches wider than the current. Water when the soil dries out. Fertilize once a month with diluted fertilizer.

Fertilize the cuttings when the roots appear. Plant the rooted cuttings back into the pot when the roots are at least 2” long.

You may want to clip more of the longest vines to clear out the bare vines when the plant gets full and healthy. 🪴🍀

She seems so small now, hopefully happier though

The plant looks like it doesn’t like to be lifted, as if when you water it the water isn’t reaching the top. Instead of hanging, let the leaves drape down the side of the pot-that way the water can carry down to the end of the vine.

#### Sunny replied on 2025-09-13

Gravity doesn’t stop the water from reaching the ends of the vines. Water will get to the vines if watered when dry. Plus, these are tree and rock climbing vines in their natural environment. So, they should do well climbing or hanging as long as the nutrients, water and lighting are helping.
