I’m going to try to propagate my Peperomia but am VERY new to plants. This Peperomia doesn’t really have “nodes”, so I’m not sure if I can do it in water like I did with my Pothos.  
What suggestions do you have for propagating this? Should I be pruning the mother plant more as I collect cuttings?

You can prop leaves but they take a LONG time I have frost leaf the I soil propped and three months later it finely has new leaves starting to pop up

What worked for me is propagating from stem cuttings. Leave no less than 2 inches of stem and put in room temperature water. They take a minute to root so be patient. I occasionally check the cutting’s health by checking the stem (sometimes they rot and turn black) and doing the taco test (if leaves are firm, they’re ok!). Lighting wise, I position my propagations ~ 6 feet from a southeast facing window.

Good luck!
