I appreciate that you waited for the entire process of propagation to finish before you uploaded this video, seeing the progress and what it should look like really helps.

[@TechplantChannel]

glad it was helpful, thanks for watching

[@ouridatagnit8820]

Which kind of soil you used

[@ouridatagnit8820]

I tried to save my peperomia but died. And impossible to propagate

[@hugoh.9694]

I LOVE his scientific approach to his experiments. I'm a BIG fan of community pots particularly for rooting cuttings. However this is one plant you might be better off rooting in individual pots. Peperomias in general seem to have meek and delicate root structures. They don't endure transplants where the soil is disturbed or broken apart very well.

[@zahraben9102]

Sssiê

[@TechplantChannel]

Two viewers mentioned a GREAT tip, you can do this in a pot that will be their final home so you can avoid the transplanting process and not shock and potentially kill them like i did!! I put a lot in the same container because i dont have room to have 6 or 7 pots dedicated to the process but wow, what a simple and yet effective tip. If you are only doing one or two leaves stick em in their forever pot!! Thanks to the multiple viewers for pointing this out. All of you are so helpful and im glad you comment stuff like this!

Never thought that they can be propagated through leaf cutting, wow. Plants are amazing. ♥️

[@TechplantChannel]

yeap its pretty unique to this plant, a lot of others need nodes!

[@hugoh.9694]

"Totipotency"... that is what this miracle is called. The ability of a plant's cells to become or grow into any tissue or any part or structure of a plant. The closest thing we humans have to this is stem cells. One day in stead of dental implants, science will just seed certain cells in the area of a missing tooth and a new one will re-grow to replace the missing tooth to match the original missing one.

[@yd8569]

Begonias say hello

[@alexandramunoz4551]

I think the method is a success, the trick is to plant them in the final pot intended for them and water carefully, to avoid damaging them during the transplanting process. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@TechplantChannel]

yes, someone else mentioned this! if you have the space its probably best for that!! then you dont have to transplant them!

[@alexandramunoz4551]

Techplant awesome, thanks again man👋🏼

[@haleytrefzer4362]

I had seen in another video that if you do want to propagate with water then it’s best to do in groups. Such as taking multiple stemmings and put them all together in one container, the KZbinr did show the progress and it was phenomenal on how quickly they grew roots!!

[@TechplantChannel]

interesting. the hormones they release must have worked together

[@ariannashuler1330]

I think I heard it from another KZbinr, who said that if you put a pothos cutting and peperomia cutting together in water that the peperomia can root faster than usual. Don’t know the science behind it though haha

[@bblum91286]

@@ariannashuler1330 I did this and my one leaf on a stem had roots in a few weeks.

[@babygrl14]

@@ariannashuler1330 it's due to the fact that pothos release a rooting hormone

[@themixedvoice4091]

Whoa, didn't know these could prop from their leaves too! Great video and experiment! I actually had success using water propagation for stems with a full leaf attached (in the spring/summertime). I had elevated the leaves so only about an inch of the stem was in the water, and put them by an east facing window. The lighting + warm season helped a lot--it only took about 2 weeks before roots sprouted!

[@markanthonysmith-authorhul9412]

Thanks for that! I'll give it a go

I love the updates in the same video that you cut them. I often wonder how propagations turn out on some other plant vids but have to search for them…this was all laid out for me. Thank you for such a clear cut video from beginning to end!

[@TechplantChannel]

For sure thanks for watching!

[@wifechangingvlogs6802]

I recently water propagated my pepperomia. Keep the mother leaf OUT of the water above the surface and just the stem in the water. Switch the water out every week. I kept them in the windowsill. In less than 2 months, each cutting had 2-3 inches of dense roots and about 6-7 mini new leaves coming off around the base. Transplanted to soil recently and spraying them with water everyday!

[@noelleenright3900]

How much of the stem did you have submerged?

[@lorafrost9628]

I had no idea it took so long to propagate these plants; they seemed fast-growing otherwise! I probably won't be getting a peperomia -- if a plant is very sensitive to accidental overwatering, then I should stay away from it :) "Water the plant and not the pot" is a great reminder for watering -- I've heard "when in doubt, go with drought" (or something along those lines) before, too, which helps me out a bit lol

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah I always lean towards too dry than wet, much easier to revive if it looks like its dying than when its been over watered

[@jamtea388]

I think Techplant might have might they were sensitive during the propagation stage.

[@bcvr4lb]

@@TechplantChannel You should make a tee shirt or maybe planters with that printed on them “Water the plant, not the pot”. Thanks for sharing.

[@bcvr4lb]

Yes, please try rooting cuttings in different materials like pumice, perlite and sphagnum moss separately to see how fast they root in each. Maybe it’s easier to transfer to soil since they have weight on them other than water 🤔. Thanks for sharing.

[@TechplantChannel]

Ill try on my next attempt

[@jamtea388]

I really like "water the plants and not the pot." I've seen a lot of people saying, "water until it runs out the bottom" every single time you water, ensuring that all the medium is soaked completely. But I live in a very humid location (outdoor humidity 60%-80% in the summer, 80%-100% in the winter.) and I find that doing that just encourage mold growth and not plant growth. I think the idea of soaking the entire medium comes from the same people who like to keep their plants rootbound. If your plant is rootbound you do need all the medium soaked because it's all roots.

[@TechplantChannel]

agreed! if it isnt root bound then theres no reason soaking soil with 0 roots in it! and like you said in a humid place the soil takes forever to dry if you absolutely soak it!

[@MelissaTrujillo]

Wow! I love the structure of the video, and the clarity with which you explain the process. The footage is excellent too, thanks!

[@TechplantChannel]

[@TechplantChannel]

[@grace6093]

thank you for showing the method using leaf cuttings, i'll definitely have to try that out! i have a stem cutting in water now, and you're right that clean water makes a difference - mine took maybe two months to develop a decent root system when i started changing the water out. good luck with your new plants!

[@reesepiece87]

I bought a very sad looking pot of watermelon peperomia from home depot and decided to cut most of the stems off to propagate. I did about 1/3 of what I cut in soil and 2/3 in water. I honestly forgot about the props but the ones I cut in half were placed in moist soil and I put them in zip lock bag with air blown every week or so (forgot about them very often). The ones in water, I placed in front of a north facing window and they all surprisingly rooted. I also have another watermelon pep that I put into moss and they rooted but very slowly. I'm glad I propagated the pot from home depot because I overwatered the mother plant and it died LOL. Thanks for the video. I wish I had the patience to leave the prop alone for 4 months.

[@TechplantChannel]

I have a heck of a time keeping them alive too, one week its over watered the next its too dry....

[@Jeescuh]

Wow really appreciate the dedication to these propagation videos!!!

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks! I hope they help

[@annaberger4364]

So I have a frost and not watermelon peperomia but they have similar growth patterns. But I just stuck my leaves in water and after about 2 months it had produced entire tiny plants and I transferred to sphagnum moss and they are absolutely thriving!!

[@TechplantChannel]

awesome! nice job!

[@cyrusjestercatalan4914]

I did the water method with the frost and had 75% success rate in propagation as 4 of them were originally tested to propagate but only 3 developed roots and the 1 leaf rotted its stem. However, the leaf was still okay so I tried to propagate it in the soil. I was just wondering when is the best time to transplant the water propagated ones into a soil. I haven’t seen any new leaf coming out of it. Days for my water propagation is almost 1 month.

Thank you so much for this complete and wonderful guide to help me avoid mistakes, got my plant yesterday

[@josephlangefeld8938]

I have had almost nothing but success using the water propagation method. I only allow the stems in the water, no leaves. If you put the leaves in the water, in my experience, everything tends to rot. I also refresh the water frequently. It might take a month; Ive seen cuttings root in less than a week. The roots are terribly fine, but you only need them to get started with the roots before you can just pop em in a hole you poke in the soil and blam... I just wanted to prune mine because it was getting leggy.. and now I have two huge bowls of Peperomia: Fuzzy Mystery. Also, I've never had a problem repotting any of them if necessary. One plant has now become about 50% of my overall collection. lol

Excellent demonstration of propogating this plant. I propogated mine as well and it took off much quicker than I thought. I wonder why mine grows upwards, leaves shooting out from a single stem (there is a secondary stem on one) and yours grow more like a full plant, similar to a Rex begonia. Both my mother plant and propogations grow in this manner; almost tree like with many stems and leaves coming off of each successive leaf, if that makes sense. Are there different forms? I'd love one that grows like yours, in that Rex begonia fashion :)
