O.k I am attempting to start growing plants in a green house first of all I know nothing about plants. My petunias are all brown like the leaves kinda look like there burnt or fried there just brown and crispy. What could be causing this it has been about 100 degrees everyday where I live so I have been watering once sometimes twice a day...Next question I am trying to split a Pilea and make more plants out of it how do i do this???? Lol i know I am pathetic but please help. Im not sure which Pilea it is but it has green leaves that are shaped like a heart and pink veins throughout...

Do you have heat dump vents in your greenhouse? Or fans? It needs to be kept at a constant temp. Sounds like you fried the petunias.
Pilea is super easy. Put damp sphagnum moss or potting soil in a pot, plunk down a chunk of plant. Don't use a drip pan beneath it, they don't like wet feet and will rot. Keep evenly moist. When you see new leaves, you have roots. I have pilea pubescens, beautiful silver green.
What you described sounds like Episcia to me. I have those too, can send you photos if you like.
good luck
