Peperomia Hope
Hi plant people 🪴 do y’all think I should trim my peperomia hope? Her vines have become very stretchy since she was away from the window.. but I’ve moved her directly under the window now, so she gets plenty of light. However, would it be better to trim her, to encourage bushier growth? If so, how? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Peperomia

@EatMoreVeggies Hi welcome to Greg 🙌 If it was mine I’d cut the longer vine’s back and root them to add back to pot . And the answer to your question is yes it will help it get bushy. It’s quite nice just the way it is though. Good luck in whatever you decide too do
@ILoveMyPlants thanks! Do I just pop them in water to propagate or else? I like how she looks like, but I’d like her to produce big leaves instead of longer vines..
@EatMoreVeggies I do water props but @DreamMachine gave me a handy dandy trick to put in a plastic baggie with perlite and blow in the bag for moisture. Or you can moisten the perlite like a rinse off and do same baggy trick . Good luck I’m sure you’ll do well
@ILoveMyPlants @EatMoreVeggies haha I love my perlite and ziplock bags 🙌 They grow roots that are more like soil roots in perlite, you don’t have to change any scuzzy water (or forget to 🤫), and they’re in their own humidity bubble 🫧 in the ziplock bag.
Wash the perlite in warm water in the bag. Try to drain all the water. Place cuttings in the bag. Blow up the bag and seal it. Place bag in bright area but not direct sun. In a month, more or less you have roots.

@ILoveMyPlants hey! Sorry if I’m being a little slow but could you explain the baggie tip a little more? Like what plants does it work with? Do you blow in it every day or just re moisten it when it gets dry and do you put it in the sun?
Thank you! Sorry for all the questions 😅
