# I’ve had my peperomia for about 1 year and can’t seem to keep it…

_Publicado por Noémie el 2026-02-22_

I’ve had my peperomia for about 1 year and can’t seem to keep it bushy. I water her once a week or mostly when soil at the bottom is dry and put her under my grow lights once or twice a week. I’ve also cut one stem to try and propagate it in water, but doesn’t seem to work very well. A root appeared, but two leaves fell after they turned brown. What should I do to keep her pretty and bushy?
