It’s not a fan of its shoots touching anything so hanging is definitely the way to go. Too much watering too often causes the leaf membranes to “burst” causing spots and become damaged or leaves falling off. Let it dry out dang near bone dry before watering it again. Bottom water if possible???? Because the same can happen from water staying on the leaves for too long. Similar to an African violet.
