Why polka dot plant is so freaking leggy😥 should I just cut my losses and snip the stalks or just let it growl Ike this. It’s gets plenty of light and water.

They get very leggy if you don’t trim them. I’d cut down to the second node. You can propagate the cuttings too. It’s super easy.

Yes. They seem to grow leggy and need a trimming as part of their plant chore schedule.

Pinching the leaves off when they first sprout will help it grow more horizontally than vertically
