Question

I have a Peperomia Wolfgang-krahnii that has gotten crazy leggy, and I'm not totally sure what to do about it. 😬 You can see the difference between her plant card and the attached pictures - she went straight up and not out at all, lol.

Is it possible to chop and prop with this one? The top inch or so looks appropriately bushy and I'd love to prop it, but I'm not sure exactly how this one propagates - leaves? And will the rooted/chopped part of the plant bounce back and put out new growth? Do they branch at all?

There are so many types of peperomia that googling answers has proved... challenging. 😂

I agree with @debbiedo - if you want to give it a trim, you can put it right back in the pot and pretty soon you'll have a full pot! (:

I’m not a plant expert and I don’t have a peperomia but normally when plants get leggy, it because they are reaching for light, so maybe try putting them in a spot with more light…

@debbiedo · Answer

Even with good light, these will keep getting longer! If you’d like to keep it more compact you can prune it and propagate the cuttings. The pruning will encourage more branching and the cuttings will grow roots fast 👍🏻
