Home Depot rescue about 8 months ago. What do I do with her? She gives me two new leaves at a time and is getting extremely tall.

I think I would wait a month or three for the growing season to start and then top off that leggy part, maybe down to that biggest leaf in the front of the picture. Just a thought but that would control the height and cause it to break some side branches.

By "break" I mean it starts to grow side branches.

Put in a moss pole and hang a light over her. The large gaps between the leaf nodes means she’s looking for light or water. She doesn’t look under watered. Trim as KJM recommended. Then, add the lighting and the pole. 🪴🍀

You can trim occasionally if you want to restrict the height.
