Dude what in the name of strings is my callisea repens so leggy Ugghhh!!! I recently just chopped my kalanchoe because the person who gave her to me didn’t have her in enough light and she was sooo leggy I got rid of the empty legs off her and I never do that to any plants I always save every node and part to use for propagating I felt so bad but this callisea this one is different she’s been growing right in my south facing window ands been with me since the cut the person I got her off Amazon from it was advertised as a rooted plant but when I got her it was unrooted cuttings stuck in perlite with like 10% soil I was very upset and haven’t moved her from the nursery pot she came in I’m to afraid to hurt her by repotting she is rooted now but not all of them are healthy roots I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong any advice would be very helpful thank you 🙏

Other than being blurry, she looks fine to me. I have a few cuttings in a pot right now. I found so long as I have them alone and don’t fuss, they’ll root eventually. They do have delicate roots though, so when you do repot, be gentle and expect some of the vines to be a little janky for awhile.
I got a few cuttings last fall and keep cutting and propping and she’s beginning to fill out her pot better now.
More light will tighten it up but it doesn’t look very leggy to me
