Hey everyone! Any idea how to get this little guy more bushy??

As well as what light requirements you have experienced to be good. thank you!!! Ps: It’s a polka dot plant

My polka dots are very leggy because they do not get enough light. You can also tell this one needs more light because its color is very muted. Good luck!

Pinch out his top, that will force him to create new branches \& become bushier.

How much of the top?? I already cut it down to a tiny lil nib because of leggyness and it didn’t grow bushier from there

Yes, pinch up the top but only the tiniest little growing tip since this plant is so small already.

Try a smaller pot and bright indirect light.
