Reviving A Mother Of Thousands?

Hi!

Our mother of thousands did not take her first winter well. For the spring and summer of 2020, she was thriving- rather over-tall, maybe, but with green, healthy leaves, and producing many little plantlets (some of which we kept). Over last winter, however, her leaves have turned yellow and shrunk, and she has shot up several inches. I suspect it was the lack of light and the cold tempratures (we live in the UK in the midlands). Over the past couple of months, she has put out flower buds which have bloomed in the past two weeks or so.

Is there anything I can do to help her recover? Failing that, is it possible to hand-pollinate the flowers so that her legacy may continue?
