Chop and start fresh. It’s completely bare and now producing fully light leaves which spells doom. Get it in some more light!

This is somehow the most impressive, sad, ugly, and insanely cool plant.

The problem is that the pink leaves do not photosynthesize so it won’t be able to produce food.
I think your best bet is to start over. Cut it down to a piece or two that you can propagate. It needs plenty of light so putting the propagations in a warm spot under a grow light should work.
I’d also switch moss poles. Those wrapped ones like that aren’t the best and they’re not sturdy as you keep adding more. I personally prefer the plastic moss poles that you fill with sphagnum moss. because they stay moist longer, but you could skip it entirely and just use a trellis like the ones from Treleaf and some velcro plant tape. I have a couple zella trellises from Treleaf that I have a pink princess and white princess on.

Looks super leggy, totally salvageable though! Chop into nodes with at least one leaf + aerial root, root in water or sphag. Pot in chunky mix, brighter indirect light, and stake for support. You’ve got this.

The only advice would be to chop and prop but this is the most Tim Burton/Delia Deetz looking plant I’ve ever seen. It’s hauntingly gorgeous!

This plant looks like it belongs in Stranger Things.
It’s so confusing.

By chopping it up into 15-20 or so nodes. If it doesn’t produce *any* “green” growth from the bottom cuts, the plant has gone “full albo” in pink form. Which is likely why it’s dropping leaves.
This is my PPP leaf showing nearly full “ablo” coloration:
That “spot” is chlorophyll which makes energy for the plant. Only reason the pure pink leaves are alive is because I fertilize and have lots of light on this girly

Have you ever hear of air layering? You can certain chop this up into a dozen or more leafless nodes (wetsticks) and lay them in moist moss in a clear Tupperware container and they will each eventually root and put out new growth, essentially making each node an entirely new plant.
This can take a lot of time though. You can also leave the main stem intact, and wrap the entire stem and aerials w moist moss and then hold it on there with cling wrap. In a few weeks the individual nodes will have the start of roots – you then chop between every 1 or 2 nodes and plant in moss. Buy some keiki paste and dab it on the growth point areas. That will help activate then faster. Look up air layering.
