# I propagated my pepperomia rosso from leaf cuttings a few months…

_Posted by Molly on 2025-11-22_

I propagated my pepperomia rosso from leaf cuttings a few months back, and recently noticed 3 variegated leafs, with a 4th on the way. I know plants can revert from variegated to non variegated, but how is it possible the other way around. 🤔

variegation is a common genetic mutation. it's very possible for plants to suddenly become variegated, just not common. interesting to see on a peperomia!

That's interesting. Thank you 😊
