Peperomia Obtusifolia care and propagation in soil, water, and leca (with updates)

The peperomia obtusifolia is possible the most common and affordable peperomia worldwide, precisely because it looks like a ‘classic’ houseplant and is very easy to care for and propagate. They have shiny, leathery round leaves that is a joy to pet and calming to the eye. In this video I share the full care tips and propagate this plant using many different techniques. At the end of the video I share a 2 month update so you can see how the parent plant and the cuttings do. I also dabble with leca (semi-hydropinic) and share my surprising finds.

You're the best plant RU-vidr! No one do cuttings updates and tips like you do! haha and thanks for always reply to me on instagram with my annoying questions

@onlyplants 3 года назад

Yes brighter light will help it grow faster, some direct sunlight is good for them but never afternoon/full sun.

@VickyHafler 3 года назад

I love that we don’t have to wait to see the progression! You have a very informative channel, thank you.

@FinalFictionX 3 года назад

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!

@YinYangx3 3 года назад

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide an update on everything within the same video! It really helps with the instant gratification haha

@lindabeaulieu6770 3 года назад

Hi from Canada ! I love Peperomias. I have about 9 kinds... and wanting more ! They are apparently pet safe... it's worth mentioning. Thx for the video ... always great to see you and hear your cute statements ("leaf petting" lol ❤) and so satisfying when you do all the updates in 1 video. 👏

@onlyplants 3 года назад

Thank youu. Will look into the pet safe thing since I have two little ones running around!

@renatosoares8140 Год назад

I’ve literally just found and rescued a variegated peperomia obtusifolia from my local supermarket and RU-vid searched on how to propagate a peperomia and then finding your vid (recent fan here) specifically talking about this specie made my entire day! I can’t wait to make a bushy peperomia obtusifolia variegate pot! 😁😁😁😁😁 I’m learning soo much from your vids! Thank you!

@onlyplants Год назад

Thank you 😀 do consider other peperomias too they propagate the same way.

@lucyogutu-lumuli7253 3 года назад

@ahandshaw9123 2 года назад

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!

@onlyplants 2 года назад

And I thank you too 😀 for the dose of positive encouragement.

Ouuu yes you can also cut the leaf in half and propagate both halves lol

@BlakeT87 Год назад

Just picked up my first indoor plant on Saturday (I've been feeling a lot o urge to help something grow lately) so I picked up Peperomia Obtusifolia Veriegata. So far I'm very happy with my choice, and now I just want to learn as much about this little guy as I can.

@onlyplants Год назад

Its an excellent choice. The variegated require far more light and in my experience, is very spidermites prone. The variegated is also less forgiving with overwatering 😀

@ClaiCesar Год назад

Its really nice that you show us different ways of propagation and then show us updates. Thank you for sharing your videos. I have different variety of Pepperomia. 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.

@JillianSchleger Год назад

Great video! I love this plant and adore your wooden structure in your garden! I took one leaf, plopped it into water and it grew roots really quickly! I was pleasantly surprised :)

@onlyplants Год назад

😀😀

@nitewarden Год назад

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 Год назад

Oh yes they respond well to light. The perfect light meter haha. They can actually take some direct light and will reward you with high variegation. But not full sun

I found much more success with peperomias when I gave them lots of humidity. I agree about the leca. The roots are interesting, but I think in many ways it is actually more work.

@debrawarrick2911 3 года назад

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.

@onlyplants 3 года назад

Interesting... and you are not alone I seem to have a few people saying the same thing 😅

@elliehart988 4 месяца назад

@onlyplants 4 месяца назад

Oh yes its time to propagate

@AndeeKiss 3 года назад

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 3 года назад

Yeppp but it stresses me out to not see the water level (and roots) if its in a cover pot. I think leca is just not for me.

@chriswilliams-white7691 3 года назад

@@onlyplants you don.t see the roots or water level when you have them in soil either. it seems that for propagation , leca would be faster. Make a sleeve for your propagation. just a though jars and you can pull the sleeve down to see the roots

@Robert_A_Keyboards4948 2 года назад

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!

@onlyplants 2 года назад

Haha maybe try propagating one for indoors, they can adapt quite well. And they look so nice when busy if you prune often

@jasontribue3573 3 года назад

I have the variegated version that's been in the same pot for years hanging on the side of my house. I have a picture of it on instagram. Just hanging the name if the plant it should show up. Very easy and beautiful
