You have a picture on your page "hanging succulent plants" that I wish to identify. I had this plant and cannot find or identify it. It is not "string of hearts" nor is it "string of pearls." It has succulent qualities, but may not actually be a succulent. The plant is actually featured on your page about succulent hanging plants, but I do not think it is listed below. Can you help me identify?
I would venture to say this is a variety of burro's tail.

I found it! I called my local florist and they researched it and found out it is Peperomia prostrata. Here is a website that helps with care and identification! http://succulent-plant.com/families/piperaceae.html
Can you start a peperomia from a clipping or a stem or is it started by seed? I was given a clipping of a Variegata pepperomia and I wanted to know if you can start a plant from that clipping?
Yes, peperomia can be propagated from a cutting. For information on how to root cuttings, please visit the following links:

Have no idea what plant this is.
This is a Peperomia plant.

My peperomia plant is about ten years old and in the same soil. Lately I have notice the lower leaves have turned yellowish-green. It is still producing new leaves. I have cut back on the watering but I am now wondering if the lighting is too bright for it. Or could the roots be under oxygenated to cause the yellow colour.
If you do not have access to a good fertilizer, then repotting in the same pot, or in only a slightly bigger pot with fresh soil will help. Gently shake out the roots running under water if you can. This will help get all the old dirt out gently. Then replace with only SLIGHTLY moist soil. Try and get the crown back into the same position right above the soil level where it was before re-potting. After, water this in and top off the soil if needed.
If you have access to fertilizer, then you may not need to re-pot often.

I would like to have two smaller peperomia plants. Can I split mine into two? If so, is it ok to do it now in mid to late July? Thank you for your assistance!
Dividing these will usually kill them. There are better ways to make copies of the plant that will have less risk. Leaves, stems, and pretty much anything that you take from the plant will root to create an exact copy of the plant.

I got my pilea about a month ago, I started seeing these tiny black spots. The plant sits on the east facing window and I water it about twice a week because it's quite hot. Please tell me what i can do?
Is this planted, only, in peat moss? Or is there soil under that? They do best in a well draining organic potting mix. Make sure the container has plenty of drainage holes. They will not tolerate over watering at all.
They will not tolerate overfeeding, but peat will not have enough nutrients to sustain the plant. This article will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/pilea-plants/pilea-chinese-money-plant-info.htm
I scavenged this little one for 80ct and the only thing that was written on it was "fern mix". It's fuzzy but only slightly. I was thinking maybe its from the peperomia family? Also, how do I take care of it since it was pretty neglected? Thank you in advance for helping me.
Peperomia Obtusifolia; Varieties with green leaves thrive on bright to half shady locations and should be sheltered from the sun or be exposed to shadow in summer. Great is a spot by the window facing east or west.
Use a good quality potting soil and you can even add in some cactus mix for a well draining soil mix.
Water carefully, soil should be neither too dry or too wet!
