I accidentally knocked a big leaf off of one of my plants. Can it survive? (Pics are before and after)

Of course it’ll just continue to grow! As long as the plant is healthy.

I would say chop the leaf and try and propagate in water

Not in that size of pot. If the leaf fell off easily, it’s too wet. Pilea are succulent like, in that they need to dry out all the way before watering. In a pot this size, its roots will stay wet way too long and cause weak leaves, etc. downsize to at least a 4” pot and let it dry out.
1 j'aimeIt wasn’t very easy to knock it off. I was watering it and I was feeling to see how moist the soil was. I had one of my fingers on the leaf, I guess, and I pushed a bit hard and knocked it off. I also believe I had been overwatering it a little, but I’ve been watering it less and it’s doing better.
