Any tips for making my sadly looking hoya polyneura better?

So I ordered this hoya for a good price what I didnt notice, that it was labelled “damaged”. I have just gotten into indoor plants so I am almost a total newbie, I I wouldnt have gotten it if I have known.
I am happy because it arrived around a month ago and it already has 2 new leaves (the ones on the top) and a new pair is coming! So i think it’s somewhat happy now(?)

My only problem is that it looks ridiculous right now lol. I want it to be bushy and full in the future. I know I should propagate it but maybe wait for some new pair of leaves first? Idk how much leaves should I leave on to make sure it wont die if my propagation attempt fails.

Also do you guys have tops for propagation? I know some people do it in perlite and some right into to existing pot into the soil.

Thank you for any tips and tricks!!
