Peperomia leaf-cutting propagation methods: master these points for a high survival rate

Peperomia is distributed in Taiwan, China, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, southern Gansu and southern Tibet. It is a foliage plant. Today I will introduce the Peperomia leaf-cutting propagation method.

1. Peperomia leaf-cutting propagation method

First, use a knife to cut a leaf with its petiole from the plant, let it dry slightly, then insert it at an angle into a prepared sand bed, and within 10-15 days new roots will grow.

2. Disease control

Peperomia has few diseases, mainly ring spot virus disease. Affected plants show stunting and distorted leaves, and can be sprayed with an equal-part Bordeaux mixture. There are also root and stem rot and corky scab, which can be sprayed with a 50% carbendazim wettable powder 1000-fold solution.

Peperomia grows on moist rocks or dead trees. It can be taken internally to treat rheumatoid arthritis and bronchitis; applied externally, it treats sprains, fractures, and boils and sores.
