I would bury it a little deeper.  Right up to that next node.
The top stem will die back down to the next node, thats ok.

.TSTT is right about the stem, no problem there....but for the amount of leaves, I think a smaller pot and looser soil would help.

thanx guys. i did as you both said. i changed pots, and i put dirt to the first node up.
lets see how this baby takes up this spring:)

well..its been about 2 months, and the still plant aint doing anything.
the black top is now almost down to the first node. the leaves are now just 2 fighting to survive.

how could i save this plant?

Needs light to grow, 12 hrs of strong filtered sunlight or flouros indoors.  If you have not let soil dry out for two months, then roots might be suffocated. or dead.  
If soil has been dry, then plant is just in stasis, and will do fine without pulling it out of soil, but I think it must have more light, otherwise it shoudl have restarted by now.
 Sometimes it takes weeks and months for them to get out of trouble, but new leaves will start to show in DAYS if you increase the light.

  If soil has been wet then pull out plant and look at roots, if dead (black or otherwise "unhealthy"), then you might need to start it over if water as a new cutting, which is tricky at best.

If roots are healthy, or just tan or brown, and not rotten, but at least intact, then gently repot them and don't water    You must give them LIGHT and lots of it.  The advice given about them loving shade is OK, but only for hot outdoors climates,( the young plants grow out from underneith a canopy of shade), bu indoors they cannot recover from stress without having an energy source to help them.  Native climate is almost at the equator, and that sun strength, even filtered through trees etc. is extremely strong.   I don't think its possible to grow a helathy strong light indoors without some serious help.  In other words it can't sit on a table and be expected to grow.  You have to recreat where there grow as natives, if you want them to thrive.

Move the plant into more and more light as it recovers,  not all at once., but definatly  try a change to more light.  

Heres the difference in outdoor plants, one on right was left in shade,  ones to left, same age, were grown in bright conditions
