Hey! From the pic, it looks like the plant is reaching for the sun-light! Carefully 'stake'the plant upright and rotate occasionally. Prune healthy top branches. apply starter to cuttings, and insert into potting soil around existing plant---AMEN ! Maybe!!

Moving it to somewhere it gets more light will also be helpful--when a plant stretches for the light like that it means it's not getting enough light in its current location. If it's not possible to get it more light, then rotating can at least keep the growth more even.
