I'm not going to lie, we have neglected the poor little guy! He sat in a window all winter, and we didn't really water it much, if at all.
The leaves are crunchy and some fall off

There's a lot of dead leaves and I was wondering if I should pull them out?
also,
Is there any chance at all to bring this little guy back?
I recently read that it's good to trim the leaves, but we haven't done this and the middle looks as if the plant has pulled itself away.

Should I trim some of the longer branches?
And if so, how should I trim it?
Thanks for any advice!!!

I put it in a larger pot, took out the dead parts and gave it a nice drink!opabinia51 wrote:I would pot it up to a lager pot and trim all of the dead leaves and what not off of it.
Today, it looks a lot better!
I have some of the branches that fell off sitting in a bowl of water so hopefully they'll grow roots and I can replant them!
Thanks for the advice! If we could score helpfulness I'd give you a 10!!!
Thanks again!
I actually had a pot of that hanging from a Duranta Repens tree out in the garden. I trained the Duranta to be a standard and it gives great shade to a large portion of my garden. The hanging pot of wandering jew hung from a lower branch, received filtered light and I guess the wind must have blown a few stems to the ground, and they rooted right there where they landed! It really surprised me, so as the parent plant gets leggy, I just cut off the long strands, stick them in a little pot with soil, and they root easily! It's hard to kill.
