Poor Forrest Fell From Our Porch

Question

#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 😂

I’m sorry to hear that Forest took a leap. ￼ on the other hand, I’m happy to hear that it’s not only my plants that jump off the shelves. ￼ Give it time to heal and you’ll see which ones will survive or need to be cut… ￼ good luck and cheers to a quick recovery!❤️‍🩹🪴🍀
