Poor Forrest Fell From Our Porch

#Peperomia many of his leaves are sort of broken and I’m not sure if I am supposed to cut them back. I can’t find any information on the app about cutting this plant back. Do I just try to leave him alone while he recovers from his fall?

Sorry about Forrest's fall. I think the best thing to do it leaf it alone for a while. Then the leaves that are definitely broken will be clear and you can pinch them off. The leaves and stems break very easily.

Hopefully, in a few months, it'll look picture perfect again!
Aww speedy recovery to Forrest
I agree to just leaf it alone for now and then you can snip the damaged leaves once he has recovered a bit. Poor thing needs a good bit of encouragement. I talk to my plants every day and my cat thinks I am nuts. I have caught her talking to them also πŸ˜‚
I’m sorry to hear that Forest took a leap. οΏΌ on the other hand, I’m happy to hear that it’s not only my plants that jump off the shelves. οΏΌ Give it time to heal and you’ll see which ones will survive or need to be cut… οΏΌ good luck and cheers to a quick recovery!β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸͺ΄πŸ€
