Mine got kinda leggy like that because it wasn’t getting enough light. I moved it from a north facing window to east so it gets some better light, chopped and propagated, then replanted the props in the same pot with the rest of it to make it a little bushier. It’s been a while since I did that, but growing nicely ever since!

did you chop above a node? and then just put it back into the pot?

Yup but I propagate in water first then moved to soil once I had a few inches of roots. You could do it either way, I just have better luck with water. I like to chop the vine about 1/2 inch or so above and below the node, so you have a piece of stem with a node and a leaf attached. I let them sit out a few hours to let the cut ends dry and form a callus, and then submerge the stem and node in a little water and wait!
