What Is This Houseplant? (Peperomia)

looking down on potted plantI've had this plant for several years. It's become leggy and a lot of the leaves from the middle of the plant have fallen off. I'm wondering if I can cut a section from the top to start a new plant, but I don't know what this plant is called to do any research. Ideas, anyone?

It looks like either a pothos plant, or a philodendron. Either way, propagation is the same. Cut a piece about 4" long, being sure to include one of the little nodules on the piece. Place in water with nodule covered, and wait for roots to grow. Then plant in soil.

Hello !
The plant looks like a Peperomia incana and if that's what it is it could be loosing its leaves because it is not a climber but rather a rampant. You can cut a portion and put it to root in a vase keeping it just above the water surface the same way you make an avocado start roots.
