Peperomia is peperomia, jade is Crassula (argentea) and they are two different plants entirely (yours is Peperomia).

Congrats! Lucy, there is a Pep called a 'Jayde' that's the name of it. Your new plant looks great. I've had trouble rooting these, it isnt easy. Enjoy : )

Jen

Oh, really? Live and learn!

Thank you, Jen! Did you use the rooting hormone? I am wondering if it was going to do it anyway, but perhaps the rooting hormone really did help? I am curious to know!

Lucy, yes, it is supposedly a newer pep.

Cool, thanks for sharing the pics......I tried rooting pepperomia and I failed too, so good job! I agree that this is a way cool place to come for advice, everyone here is so great, and the tips are great, and I learn something everyday from the people here!!

Tracy, you know, I really didn't know what I did right, but I guess I did!!! LOL!

I literally just chopped half of the plant off, then dipped the ends into some rooting hormone, and stuck the stems into some rich potting soil and water the thing every day for a couple of weeks to make sure that there was constant moisture... that's all I did!

I really wonder if the use of the rooting hormone made a big difference? Tracy, did you use it?

I believe I did use rooting hormone, but I think my mistake was letting it go dry a few too many times, I am a chronic underwater-er (I am trying to water more, but its so scary.....lol)

Maybe I will try again, how long did yours take to root?

Tracy

Tracy, it took mine about 3 weeks or so to get to this point.

BTW, I really let the thing SOAK every day. I left them in the garage, so that I can just completely SOAK the soil through every day. I guess it worked for me!

This is a beautiful Pep!!! I tried it briefly a couple of yrs ago & failed. I also tried a small piece of a miniature of this in a terrarium for a while, difficult to get the moisture right. But I still love the look of these leaves & smile whenever I see it.

Am trying to remember its botanical name, P. Botyris or P. Polybotyris? Oojen &/or Karen 715 are you ladies looking in? If so, could you pls. confirm or disagree (or venture its real name if I'm wrong)?

@ostrich long shot but want to see if you have any for sale or trade? Ive been looking for this plant, thanks.

Good result. I have a Peperomia orbea variegata that has gone downhill,producing tiny leaves. But it put out an all green shoot and so I propagated that in a pot. I prefer all green varieties in general anyway,plus theyre stronger. Your pep looks really good!

Sorry, WL, I no longer have that plant after I moved! It was given away to a friend... sorry about that!
