# My polka dot plant was full and bushy when I got it. In about 2-3…

_Posted by shalynbri on 2024-03-23_

My polka dot plant was full and bushy when I got it. In about 2-3 weeks it’s grown a lot, but I see it commonly becomes leggy… so I’m wondering should I just keep cutting it back? To keep it bushy? Any tips?

Also, I’ve read it’s very difficult I’d not impossible to propagate. True in your experience?

Hey! Yeah cut her back! Mine loved it after that! So they really like propagating in moss! That’s the only way I got them to root x
