Only repot it if it is roof bound

Stretching would be from lack of light, not a need for repotting. If it hasn’t ever been repotted or hasn’t for some time, the roots are sticking out of the drainage holes and suggesting it needs more room, or the soil doesn’t drain well, then you can repot, but my best guess here would be that it needs to be a little closer to the window. I would take it out of the hanging planter and try sticking it in a windowsill or under a grow light. Hope this helps!
