My pink princess has been struggling on and off for a while. I’m not sure what it needs anymore. Any tips?

More light? The distance between the nodes stretches out when they’re looking for light

This summer it has been getting indirect light quite a bit. I’ll make sure to get it some direct light for an hour or two so it doesn’t burn. And see if that’s the problem. Thank you!

I just chopped mine about in half. Then rooted the top and once with secondary roots replanted in same pot. Looks much much better.
