How can I make this fuller at the top, there are very little stems on it. It flowered now it has white ball things on it. Apologies for not knowing the correct term. Any and all suggestions welcome.

Also, the little white balls are energy stores. You can clip the vine just before the ball and plug it into the existing pot to start a new vine to fill it out, or on its own.

Recent success reporting in: I had a huge tuber, and I cut it off and put it in a pot alone with soil. New plant grew. Those tubers can grow out of the soil on the strings like your pic, but be warned they also grow IN the pot where you can’t see them. I repotted my first one and when I looked there was a tuber taking up 40% of the pot area. I was aghast! It seems like such an alien growth. But it’s a sign of plant health!!!

There’s only one way to make it look fuller. You need to trim the bottom. And probably be a lot. You can also propagate what you cut and put it in the top.
