Medium light and water when its dry. Also give it a 1/2 a turn every time you water so the stem is straight. I can't really tell whats going on in the middle of the plant but it looks bare. Idk what happened if thats the case. I also don't know what to do with it if thats the case. Just fertilize it when you water it.

Yes it is bare in the center. I got it off Market Place for $5. The lady said it doesn’t like her and she doesn’t like it much anymore. 🤣  
So I’m hoping to give it a second chance.

I’ve found mine likes bright to medium indirect light but can tolerate some sun! I let it dry out completely before watering. Also, if you don’t like the shape it’s taking or that bare spot in the middle of the stem, you can cut practically anywhere along the stem and it’ll grow new leaves :) I inherited a wonky looking umbrella tree from a coworker and I ended up cutting it down and new leaves started emerging within weeks! It’s now very bushy and growing new stems

Yours looks similar to mine lol  
Maybe I’ll try cutting it back. Is the pot size okay?
