I’ve had my polka dot plant for about 8 months and have pruned it a couple times and now it looks like this at the top. should I cut the leggy pieces off again and let it grow out or keep it like this?

    I think that’s a matter of preference.

    Hi there, if it were me I would chop it, propagate the cut pieces and then plant them back into the existing pot for a bushier look :)

      I agree, but FWIW I have not had good luck propagating cuttings from my polka dot plants (neither water or soil w/rooting hormone). But in my experience, the plants do well with cutting - generally splitting when cut. Totally up to you!

      i’m going to be totally honest, all i do is water it when it’s bone dry on top and it’s working for me! i repotted it when i first got it but haven’t since then. thank you <3
