So I’m quite new to the pepperomia life and recently my watermelon plant sprouted its flower spike! Should I cut this flower spike if I want her to grow more bushy?

i cut them off of my peperomia because they eventually drop pollen and make a mess — then it can focus on more leaves

Awesome! Thank you :) would I cut it normally? Like I would anything else

yeah just snip at the base!

You definitely can! I do it with a couple of my plants. I don’t want them pushing energy into flowering when I want more leaves! Haha

That makes sense, thank you so much!
