About Peperomia 'Hope'
Did you know Peperomia plants belong to the pepper family, along with black peppercorns? Their fruits and seeds have traveled one of the longest distances ever recorded, over 3000 miles to an island in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, while stuck to a bird's feet! 🦅 They can be easily propagated by leaves which make them super easy to share with friends!

Advice for Propagating Peperomia Hope I have this Peperomia Hope that I saved (from myself 🥲). She was full and gorgeous when I got her, but now she’s sparse and leggy because I didn’t know I was supposed to treat her like a succulent. Or maybe I didn’t know how to treat succulents. Anyway, I know better now, and I want to try propagating her to make her fuller again. I’ve been doing some research, and I’m finding that the best way is to place the leaves in soil. I’ve never propagated any plants before, and it looks like this will be a hard one to start with. Just looking for advice from anyone who has propagated this plant or any similar succulent types. Thank you! #Peperomia

I’m very new to plants, and I have 2 Peperomias. My Peperomia Hope has regrettably suffered a lot. She got fungus gnats and also dropped multiple leaves and stems along the way (long story). With what she has left, I can see there are some new buds, but I’m not sure if I know how to revive her properly. I’m also trying to propagate a few healthy stem cuttings in water to see if I can add them back in and make her fuller again, but I could use any advice anyone has about this plant. Thank you! #Peperomia

Can Hope withstand cool nights ? #Peperomia

how to get bigger leaves? I have this plant that seems to be growing fine. But the more it grows the smaller the leaves get. Is it just lack of light that’s making them smaller? How do I get it to produce bigger leaves? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PlantLove #Peperomia #PeperomiaHope #GregGang

My #PeperomiaHope leaf prop is now a whole-a** baby plant 🌱🪴😇 I propagated a leaf last summer and now she is growing vines. Such a good feeling 🥰 Pic 1 is mom and baby together. Mom was a mess when I got her! Half dead from being neglected at the grocery store. Now look at her. 🤗💚🌿 #HappyPlants #Peperomia #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #Propagation #peperomiapals #babevila

How to propagate? #Peperomia hello! I have struggled with this plant since the day I got it! The leaves keep turning black and shriveling up, or they get mushy. I cannot for the life of me figure out the best watering cycle. I went ahead and trimmed and cleaned her up but I am not sure how to propogate the clippings. Do they like soil or water propagation. Humidity? Or just dry with no watering? HELP

Not sure what to do #Peperomia #SadPlant I’ve tried everything! More light, less light, succulent soil and even a terracotta pot and this poor thing keeps having soft leaves. I treat it as a succulent and it just doesn’t seem happy. What am I doing wrong? I love this plant so much and hate seeing it like this.

What a cute plant! I had it for 2 months and it did absolutely nothing so I assumed it was a slow grower - then it exploded! A few more leaves and I’ll have a go at propagating and adding them back into the pot for a fuller look 🙂.

Treat its roots like an Aroid (Well-draining, highly oxygenated and moisture-retentive) and treat its leaves like a succulent.

Easy, stays on the smaller side. Don’t overwater or set in the sun and your little pal will be so happy.

Handled being mailed very well. Overnight it threw out THREE new growths and absolutely delighted me :) It’s long and gangly branches seem like they’re searching out something to hug..
