I could use some help with this plant. I just picked this up with some other plants from someone on craigslist. I'm not sure what happened but as you can see it looks like it was chopped off at the top and one of the branches has started to re-root itself! (Seen in the middle left side of this photo) It's very odd looking at this point.

What would you do? How can I help this plant fill out and rebound?

Thanks for you help.
