No Central Stem On Peperomia Money Plant

Question

I bought a peperomia money plant that is multiplelk stems coming out of the soil. What should I do to get a central stem to form.

Answer 1

It produces "pups" or offsets that you can cut off close to the main stem near the soil. That may be why your plant seems to have several stems. You can propagate those for more plants or to share. If it really doesn't have a central stem, you can start one by selecting the strongest looking stem and cutting off the other stems. Here is more:
