    How do you propagate these?

      These r cool bc they don’t need nodes 😎. U can just take a leaf w some stem and water propagate. U can even cut the leaf in half (perpendicular to veins) and get 2 cuttings out of it! From there you can put the cuttings in water or soil. I started my first attempt w some San Marinos in soil, & it’s been working out p well! But I know other ppl like water propping better. It’s up to u

      Wow!!! Did not know it was that easy! I love propagating my monstera and Alocasia plants but they’re so picky lol

    wrinkled leaf peperomia is my guess because of the wider leaf

      the leaf felt very firm when I tried squishing it but I’ll be sure not to get my hopes up.

    Did you decide what you're going to do with it? I found one today I think it's the same, would love to water prop but can't see how id put it in water without it submerging

      I’m propping mine in soil.But for water propping — looks like ppl will fill up the water jar to submerge just the cut part of the leaf in water. Then they seal the top off w plastic wrap & cut a slit to poke the leaf through. (Photo from r/propagation subReddit)

      Yeah no real stem on mine will try soil prop just to see if anything happens
