On April, 14, I cut two Polybotrya leaves in half and made a mini greenhouse out of a recycled salad container. When I checked them yesterday, all of them had roots. Super exciting!!

[@BudgetBotany]

That's amazing!! 👏👏

[@nickycampbell7131]

@@BudgetBotany Thanks. When I first saw those shiny leaves sticking out all over the place, I knew that I had to try my had at growing them from cuttings. The potential to have four just makes it even better.

[@wkpdenie22]

I love that you left in the things you did wrong as well, a great way for us to learn what not to do as well !

[@BudgetBotany]

Glad to hear that you like it :)

[@zoni36]

I did it!! I took 2 halfs and after a month both halves sprouts!! I wish I could post a pic. They are soooo cute!!

[@BudgetBotany]

Congrats on the successful propagation!! 👏

[@NatTayHill]

Great video! I watched a ton of these and this one is the best!

[@BudgetBotany]

Thank you so much!!

[@thefirewren]

Thanks for your very helpful video. I´m looking forward to propagating mine now.

[@BudgetBotany]

Hope your propagation goes well!

[@thefirewren]

@@BudgetBotany Thanks, I hope so too! :)

[@wynethwelsh144]

Thank for sharing. I will try this method. 😊

[@BudgetBotany]

Good luck!!

[@mayli7075]

Thank you. I didn't know I can grow with half leaf like this.

[@BudgetBotany]

No problem, it's amazing how plants can grow like this!

Thank for the info God bless

[@BudgetBotany]

Happy to help!

[@pagaemara]

I try today with my peperomia ❤️

[@BudgetBotany]

Hope it goes well!

[@GonjaGrowinGirl]

Does this plant get confused for the pelea peperomiodes? This entire year I thought I had a peperomiodes which isn't the same same Peperomia. However I think I have the teardrop!! Do you know what I mean??

[@BudgetBotany]

They do look very similar indeed!

[@jackwu3189]

😮🌱👍🍊

[@raunakdas7321]

What causes the leaves to rot? Mine started to rot pretty quickly

[@rebecca5539]

I take leaves of my peperomia and put them in water, I never thought you can actually cut the leaves and propagate them like that c:

[@BudgetBotany]

Is it easy to propagate them in water in your experience? I want to try it :)

[@rebecca5539]

@@BudgetBotany yes, sometimes I forget about them and find some little leaves are growing with the roots under the water, they are really cute, for me it’s a very strong plant. But maybe is because I live in a place where it isn’t really cold. I hope you try it and show us, greetings from Mexico ☺️🇲🇽

[@BudgetBotany]

​@@rebecca5539 Thanks for letting me know! I'll give it a try the next time I propagate peperomias :)

[@cattymiew7445]

@@rebecca5539 Now I also put the leaves in water (as some webs mentioned it) 2 days ago and no issue. May I ask whether it needs sunlight or not as I put it in the shade area where not getting sunlight. Thks in advance.

[@Ira.1]

​@@cattymiew7445 I think it can tolerate low light but I'm not an expert

[@kriblar98]

im thinking of propagating mind with a main stem but im not sure if itll work

[@BudgetBotany]

I haven't tried that for this plant either but I know it works some other peperomia. If you do give this a try, I'd be curious to know how it goes!

[@AuntieJs]

I have propagated it from a leaf in a stem and it worked just fine! I rooted the stems in water before planting them in soil and in a few weeks they all shot up leaves!

[@KG-uk4vn]

Hi can i check what do you do with the leave cutting once the babies come? Leave it be or separate the babies out?

[@BudgetBotany]

Hi! I like to leave the cutting there, and I only remove it when it comes off on its own.

[@KG-uk4vn]

@@BudgetBotany thank you! My leaves broke while transporting it in the car. Trying to salvage what I can. Thanks for the awesome content😄

[@BudgetBotany]

Good luck and no problem!

[@Rush2KPK]

Does this grow in water?

[@BudgetBotany]

I haven't really tried that, so I'm curious to see if anyone else knows :)
