Stem Cuttings in Water:
Cut: Use clean scissors (disinfect with alcohol) to cut a stem with at least 2-3 nodes (where leaves grow from).
Prepare: Remove the bottom leaves, leaving a few at the top.
Root: Place the cutting in a jar of fresh water, ensuring the nodes are submerged.
Maintain: Keep in bright, indirect light and change the water weekly.
Transfer: Once roots are 2-3 inches long, transplant into a well-draining potting mix.
Stem Cuttings in Soil:
Cut: Cut a stem with at least 2-3 nodes and remove the bottom leaves.
Prepare: Allow the cut end to callus for a day or two.
Plant: Insert the cutting into a well-draining potting mix.
Water: Lightly water and ensure the soil dries out between waterings.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light.
Humidity may help in the soil propagation. However, since they are semi succulents, avoid too much moisture...if that makes sense.

I've had the best luck with all my peperomias in water. They have always rotted for me in soil. But in water they grow roots quickly just cut below a node (where the leaves grow from). Remove leaves below the water line. Try to keep 2-3 leaves on top.
