About Golden Gate Peperomia
Did you know Peperomia plants belong to the pepper family, along with black peppercorns? Their fruits and seeds have traveled one of the longest distances ever recorded, over 3000 miles to an island in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, while stuck to a bird's feet! 🦅 They can be easily propagated by leaves which make them super easy to share with friends!

How to fertilize Golden Gate Peperomia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Golden Gate Peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My peperomia was potted in way to big of a pot when I bought it so it rotted. I chopped it from the trunk and stuck it in water and now it's rooting. What should my next move be? Will it be successful in soil? #Peperomia

There are broken spots on the leaves. Is this from bugs? #Peperomia

How do you plant a propagated pup? I water propped my sister’s baby rubber plant (Peperomia obtusifolia) and it grew roots and a pup 🥹 but I don’t know how to transfer it to soil 😅 Can anyone tell me how to transfer this? Do I remove the pup or just put the whole thing with the big leaf and everything in the new pot? #Peperomia #PropagationStation #Propagation #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth

Is this Normal? My plant looks dry at the root. I have loved it to better lighting and bottom watered so as to not over water her. She feels like she’s doing good until I looked deeper. Is this normal??? #Peperomia

I got this baby sent to me in the mail much sooner than planned, and she sat in my PO Box for 11 days in the dark with no water. When I discovered her early arrival, she was healthy as all get out when I unboxed her! No leaves fell off or anything! Super strong plant.
I also really enjoy how much life she’s been giving me even after only having her for a week. I’m pretty sure we already have about 7 new leaves growing strong! Such a beautiful plant that brings so much joy to any room :)
