Peperomia is one of the few plants with many species (over 1000 plant types) and foliage variations that can thrive comfortably outdoors and indoors.

It has beautiful leaves, tolerates, and thrives in various conditions, and it’s  a slow grower. And because of its slow growth rate, this plant can go for years without needing repotting, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Peperomia Plant Overview

Peperomia plants are primarily found in the southern parts of the world and predominantly in central, northern, and southern America.

Growing & Propagating Peperomia Plants

Whether you’re looking to introduce Peperomia plants to your home or garden or make more of them, it is a simple process, and there are three ways to do it.

– Cut off a sizeable portion of the stem with a few leaves attached – Place it in the nearby pot with potting soil – Take it out to a spot with bright indirect light – Water the potting and cover it up with a plastic wrap

Propagating Peperomia by Leaf Cuttings

If you don’t want to use a stem cutting to grow another Peperomia plant, the leaves  will work too. It’s practically the same process as stem cutting propagation, and the only difference is that you’re  to cut and plant some parts of the leaves of the parent plant with tiny stems.
