Description
Most Peperomia species can be relatively easily propagated from leaf cuttings, similar to the way African violets are propagated. Remove large leaves with their stalks (petioles) and bury in seedling starting soil. The use of a rooting hormone can increase the odds of success. Place the cutting in a warm, bright place until new growth emerges.

Care for Peperomia
- If your peperomia plants are wilting, in spite of regular watering, the plant is likely not getting enough oxygen to the roots.
- Keep the peperomia leaves dry and provide good air circulation to prevent diseases.
-
Peperomia does well in light to moderate light, such as found in a northern or east-facing window. They can be easily grown under fluorescent lights.
- A loose, well-drained, very rich potting mix.
- Keep the soil moist during the growing season and provide relatively high humidity through spraying or by setting the pot in a gravel tray.
