    Thank you for repeating that we're supposed to check the old leaves for watering and not the new leaves. That's something I didn't know and was causing me some anxiety. Luckily I'm been waiting for the older leaves to get thirsty too. But hearing from you that that's officially the right way to do it is so reassuring!

    I’ve literally just found and rescued a variegated peperomia obtusifolia from my local supermarket and UA-cam searched on how to propagate a peperomia and then finding your vid (recent fan here) specifically talking about this specie made my entire day!

    They are apparently pet safe... it's worth mentioning.

I bought new soil and later on today I will experiment with them a try three different ways that you have shown us here. I believe I will be successful because you are a great teacher. I am going to make a video so I can start keeping track of the process. Best wishes friend ❤

    New subscriber from Minnesota USA! Your plant-love is contagious and I enjoy your videos. I have a 30 year old peperomia obtusifolia and I will forever say the full name from now on because of you. This plant has been to hell and back - literally survived a very bad house fire long ago and then years of neglect in the same pot until the pot was recently disintegrating and leaking so I had to transplant it. It is very leggy and twisty so I am now propagating it to get it bushier as your tutorial was sooooo inspiring!
    I thank you and my peperomia obtusifolia thanks you!

    You are a house plant whisperer and peperomia extraordinaire. I, on the other hand, am a peperomia killer. They just don't like my care style. I care too much for their liking, I think. Prayer plants love me. I can keep other succulents happy... Hoya, Sansevieria & Cactus for example but when it comes to peperomia they're a complete mystery to me. U're success and care tips have given me courage to try again, though. Thank you for sharing.

    I've had a variegated peperomia obtusifolia for a few years now. It grew wonderfully but was only putting out pure green leaves for most of that time. Recently, it's been putting out absolutely beautiful yellow-green and deep green splash variegation and I'm just delighted! It must really love its new spot at my bedroom window. I also propagated a new plant from it too and I'm hoping the new plant will produce its own variegation someday.

    • @onlyplants

I tried to propagate the variagated one in water. However, after a week, I saw that the end of the cuttings started turning black. Its rotten. So i cut off the rotten ends and just stuck them on the soil along with the mother plant. One of the cuttings died unfortunately. Im hoping the rest will thrive soon.

    • @onlyplants

    Dear Sean, I also ❤️ peperomia obtusifolia. If you don't want to have algae, put the wessels into a coverpot. You have algae, because the light gets through the water. If you put the glass into a coverpot, it will be in dark and the algae won't grow on the glass. And whenever you want to check on the roots, you can take the glass out of the coverpot and put it back. 😊

    • @onlyplants

    The solid green one is the very one I have! It was struggling however and I ended up putting outside in the back next to my house. Of course, it does not follow the houseplant rules it is growing and doing quite well even though we had quite a bit of rain this summer. Anyway since I put it in the ground the fun part will be digging it up and hoping it survives going back to standard houseplant care........:) Inside it did not like overwatering however outside in a natural environment it is quite happy!

    I found a half leaf variegated obtisifolia peps on the floor while plant shopping. Try to grew it and it turn into some kind of marble leaves not same as the parent plant. It grows as big as your grown plant in a year. Very easy plant doesny need much care👍

    I propagated some leaves. They all took but I took the one with the best roots and repotted it. The first new leaf came out white which I was very happy about since it is the variegated one. The next next leaf is totally green. Not so sure what's up. I have given it more light and then less light trying for the variegation growth. The other cuttings are stuck in limbo. It has been over a year and no new growth. What do you think ???❤

      If its a year then something must be wrong. These guys are quite fast to propagate. Fo you fertilize lightly? I would check the roots to see if they are ok…
