My Royal purple plant has been growing like crazy since I repotted it but it’s getting kinda leggy. Any way I can get it to grow bushier?

Needs better sunlight for starters and you can probably chop and prop to fill it out

Mine looks similar to yours and it lives in my courtyard. At the moment it’s being attacked by a grub ( which I just found). I’m going to spray it with neem and see if that helps
