Can I get some advice? My sister watched my plants for me while I was gone for two weeks and my polka dot plant looks terrible now! It's so leggy and lost a ton of leaves. Should I chop it to encourage more growth? Can I propogate cuttings? TIA!

    Is this a polka dot plant? If so, then yes you can propagate this. That would encourage much more growth to give a better bush look. Make sure you use purified or distilled water for propagation. Don’t want the guy getting bad water! I’d cut here and take the leaves off the bottom portion of the stem. I’d do this for all three of them to be honest, it may look rough at first but hopefully after time it’ll go your way. If not you got a restart with your little ones
