This ivy used to be very full but I had to cut off some of the lower leaves since they got demolished by spider mites! I know it’s a vining plant but it looks a little leggy to me. Would y’all prune it or let it be?

Let it be and see if the mites pop back, otherwise you can prune it if you want to
