Hello! I have had this money plant for about 1.5-2 years now and it has grown this long stalk in the middle. the lower leaves all dropped. is this normal? How should i support the plant’s continued growth?

My plant did this, if you don’t fix it, it only gets worse. It looks like it’s getting enough Sun but the soil could be a bit dead and you can repot to a bit with another with even better drainage

Idk if it’s normal or not but the same thing happens every time I try to grow this plant. I think because it’s a crawler not one that is supposed to stand up. But yours looks like it could use some fertilizer
