# While moving my Peperomia obtusifolia ‘marble’ yesterday, a leaf fell…

_Posted by Mandrakes\&More on 2026-07-31_

While moving my Peperomia obtusifolia ‘marble’ yesterday, a leaf fell off, and while I know it’s a long shot for growth, I decided why not try to propagate? I got a super old seedling tray my mom had lying around and poked holes in it, poked a couple holes in the top of the lid for air flow, filled it with some succulent soil I had laying around, and planted the leaf! I’ll make sure to update you all, though this certainly might end with the leaf just dying.  
I know the soil isn’t the best, but I didn’t have any moss or perlite around and I honestly wasn’t going to buy more for a leaf that might not make it 🥲  
Any advice for this little one’s future care would be very appreciated! Sorry for the super long post
