Does this hypoestes look leggy? The app says this spot I have it in is full sun and too bright but it’s been growing like this here. The lower leaves are getting old and wrinkly and dry but top leaves are nice and bright.

all you have to do if it’s too laggy for you is to trim it back and it will get bushy again, i’ve also noticed they stay alive longer if you do that

And can the cuttings be potted or placed in water for propagation?
