# Hi!! I need some advice! I have a Cupid Peperomia Varigata, I left…

_Posted by iamsarasofia on 2023-08-28_

Hi!! I need some advice! I have a Cupid Peperomia Varigata, I left for 2 weeks so it’s droopy, but I gave it water and it’s starting to perk up!  
My question is the plant looks really long and big for the small pot it’s in but the roots are still a bit shallow for it’s size, so I don’t want to repot into a bigger pot yet. Is there anything I should do for it? Should I trim / propagate the cuttings and place in the same pot or, or should I add a small support pole?  
Any advice is appreciated!! 🫶🏼

You should only really repot once the roots have filled the pot and start coming out of the drainage holes beneath 🙌🏼

Oh no I’m definitely not planning to repot, the roots aren’t big enough yet. I’m just wondering if should add a small pole to support it or if I should trim, propagate the cuttings and then stick them into the same pot.

Depends on the look you want I think, bushier vs taller.

You could wire it in a circle like I did with my peperomia
