Hello, these leaves came off my peperomia hope, if I put them in perlite, would they root and another plant grow from them or not? Thank you!

Following because I have the same question. How do you propagate those?! Do you have to wait for pups?

Unfortunately not. Peperomia plants are not really true succulents, so you can’t grow a new plant from just a leaf like you can from, say, an echeveria. You need at least a stem cutting or pup in order to propagate a peperomia.

peperomia can be propagated from leaf cuttings. i’ve created several mini plants from the leaves of my peperomia ‘hope’

Ahh indeed, I guess you can! I tried it before, but mine all just rotted. I guess they didn’t like me 😭
