I am about to move and need to cut back many of my plants to pack them in the car. My peperomia hope (grown out a lot since the photo) is growing amazingly and I don't want mess it up. Can I cut this one back and if so, will it produce more branches to make it bushier? Also can I propagate the cuttings?

Yes, yes, and yes! I got one cutting of my pep hope at a plant swap, and I’ve grown it into a nice little plant pretty quickly
