Sometimes Patience & Care Pay Off
Some pretty Peperomia leaves that I set to propagating in moist Perlite.
This is the bottom of a leaf stem (petiole?) just out of view. Shown below.
I knocked it over a month ago & found this. So I carefully put it back & try to adapt to moving it out of the way when I sat there to do other things.
The hardest part of this was to quit knocking it aside or over, which happened 3 or 4 times.
Today I noticed another leaf had new growth, the one just below left, which is the bottom 1/2 or bottom third of a leaf.
I love these Peps w/ this texture like corrugated cardboard.
Long view of its container, closed tight ensuring condensation & high humidity.
Nice on a hot & sunny afternoon!

Back for an update, these guys keep on going, I open containers to mist every 2 or 3 days.
just snapped some more shots.
I especially like that it shows both methods of propagation, tho' hard to tell unless one knows that. The left most group of leaves sprouted from the end of the leaf petiole. The right group grew directly on the cut edge of a leaf, where the cut edge met the Perlite.
