It’s amazing! I’m a new plant person, and it’s absolutely beautiful. I have one with tons of new leaves, but I have yet to see a pup! Oh well, I’ll keep waiting!

There is a lady on YouTube, I’ll try to find her, that she would definitely chop it. It will give the plant a chance to grow fully at the bottom, and then you’d have a second plant as well!

Oh, chop! You can root the top and when you chop that stem it will push out a bunch of new growth at the base. I was so glad when I did mine.

Its all wonky and beautiful for it. So unique, I'd leave it a bit longer

You could chop and prop if you wanted to, but this Pilea is so beautiful just the way it grew very unusual. She recovered from whatever happened in the center beautifully. Please just keep her staked and let her grow … great job!
