How do i stop a leggy polka dot plant? Usually sits in my bedroom window. Plenty of light throughout the day. Watered accordingly. But occasionally leaves fall.

if it’s leggy it’s not getting plenty of light

I prune and prop mine constantly to make it more bushy. Bonus that all the props make great gifts for friends! Mine is also right in a west facing window (with a screen to filter the light because the leaves are delicate) and it definitely has decreased its leggy growth since I moved it there
