Continue to baby as they develop in to tiny little beauties! Propagating peperomia by leaf cuttings Transplant into different pots once they are large enough to make the journey. This helps to keep some of the humidity in and let’s me reuse something that’s a pain to throw out.Īfter a few weeks (sometimes longer), you’ll notice new plants begin to sprout. This is my official advice, but I am lazy and just put my little rooting babies in a humid room with a window (bathroom) and keep most of them planted in an old plastic salad greens container. But you should still let the plant breathe fresh air every few days. If you notice mold growth, it might be a sign to give it a bit of air. Then carefully plant in a well-draining potting soil. Once planted, you can create the world tiniest greenhouse by putting the planted cutting in a large plastic bag or other clear plastic item like a plastic bottle cut in half.Īdding holes to whatever enclosure you decided on will help with air circulation. Remove lower leaves and dip the stem in a rooting hormone powder. The most important thing to remember is that the cuttings come from healthy plants. However, I’ve not always done this, and the cutting still do well.
To propagate a peperomia plant using a stem cutting, it’s best practice to cut a stem with a few leaves. The tip/stem method is also what I’m using. There are two ways to root new peperomia plants from cuttings: by using a leaf cutting or by using a tip/stem cutting. This is a method I am using right now to propagate some little ripple peppers. Isn’t it beautiful? 🙂 A few weeks later, I planted this in soil, trimmed the stem down, and let the new plant sprout! Peperomia Propagation Methods: Soil Propagation StepsĪnother way to propagate peperomia is using soil. Here’s an example of a peperomia cutting that has rooted in water so well that it has actually started sprouting in the water! I planted this one in fresh soil shortly after I took this picture.

It will begin to sprout new growth eventually. I put mine in a cup with drainage holes in a bathroom window. Keep it in a humid environment, and keep it moist (but with sufficient air flow so it doesn’t get moldy). Then transplant it into a small pot and continue to baby it as you would any other new plant. Give it a few more weeks once you see the initial signs of the tiny white roots. Mine began developing tiny white, almost-translucent roots after about 6 weeks. You simply cut off a stalk (not just a leaf) and pop it in a cup of water. The process is very similar to that of rooting pothos cuttings in water. The first easy way to propagate peperomia is in water. Peperomia Propagation Methods: Propagating peperomia in water Propagating from a leaf cutting can lead to it losing all of its lovely variegation in color. I know I’m going to try to keep my little babies going this fall.Īlso keep in mind that variegated peperomia plants (like the baby rubber plant) shouldn’t be propagated from leaf cuttings. Use this same kind of mixture when rooting peperomia cuttings in soil. Like most plants, the best time for propagation is spring and summer. I just use a regular houseplant soil with some perlite and coco coir or fine moss added in, and that has worked well for me. Peperomia plants in general do not like to be overwatered and have pretty shallow root systems, so they should always be planted in a well-draining soil.

Peperomia plants can be propagated in both water and soil-and they’ll also grow from both leaf and stem cuttings. This post shares all about how to propagate peperomia plants.
