Hello Tammie. Welcome. Could you please take a picture and post it? It will be helpful in answering your question. Do you have it by a sunny window or have a grow light for it? – GardenGems Jan 25 '20 at 18:50

Below your answer are 3 links 'share edit flag'. You need to click edit. Then in the box where you write your wrote your question will be a line of icon. The first icon is the letter 'B'. The 6th icon from the left looks like a mountain w/a sun. Click that link. Then click browse. Find the photo on your computer and click open. The last step is to hit add picture. – Jan 26 '20 at 16:36

Usually excessive elongation means that the plant isn't getting enough light and is trying to reach up to a less shaded area. What kind of lighting are you giving it?

See if you can find a brighter window or failing that give it supplemental lighting. – user1850479 Jan 26 '20 at 15:55
