i rescued this fella from home depot, it was suffocating in a small opened vase. i was gonna keep it hydroponic but with the way it’s climbing it’s hard to find a vessel that doesn’t suffocate the shortest leaves.  
what should i do?

You could do semi-hydro. You fill the container with leca, so you can still use water while the roots have something to grab. That way your small leaves can sit on top

i suppose this could be my excuse to finally try leca 🫣 thank you!
