Looking for some advice. I got distracted and this poor plant took a turn for the worse. She’s root bound, so was thinking I’d move her up into a bigger pot, but what should I do about this long, bare stem? Chop and prop? Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks!

I wouldn’t until you have her fully healthy again. Mine grew in new foliage after a leggy spell. Focus on getting her root system healthy first imo
