I kinda feel like giving up on my rubrotinctum. It wasn’t exactly perfect when I got it (first pic), but it’s so much uglier now (second pic). Should I continue trying to take care of it?

It just looks like it’s not getting proper lighting? It’s leaning heavily because it’s not being rotated for even lighting all around the plant and it’s stretching to try and get more, brighter light

I second @itsjordan answer. It’s just striking a pose

Oh I’m aware of the lighting issues. I could’ve let it have enough light anymore, because it was getting sunburns. Other than that though I just feel like it’s lost a lot of leaves and now has all those roots hanging from the stems, but if I water more often then the problem could get worse.

As for lighting though, I’m planning to get some grow lights, since fall is starting, so the natural light is more scarce and filtered by clouds.
