About Arid-Land Peperomia

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 Arid-Land 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 Arid-Land Peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is it time to trim? #Peperomia Wondering if I should trim to allow the smaller new leaves to thrive? Thanks in advance

Hey guys! My baby is dying and I don’t where I went wrong. I just watered it, but I did move it away from the windowsill. #Peperomia #advice #revivetheplant

How to propagate? #Peperomia hello! I have struggled with this plant since the day I got it! The leaves keep turning black and shriveling up, or they get mushy. I cannot for the life of me figure out the best watering cycle. I went ahead and trimmed and cleaned her up but I am not sure how to propogate the clippings. Do they like soil or water propagation. Humidity? Or just dry with no watering? HELP

Any tips on caring for #StringOfTurtles? #Peperomia This is my mom’s plant, she’s had it for a year or so now. It’s been suffering from the cold (it was on a windowstill) and had been perpetually overwatered, so recently she moved it to my room (most humid room in the house) to try to revive it. We picked the dead vines out, and there seems to be a bit of new growth, but the leaves are thin and most are tinted yellow. Does anyone have any advice for how else we can help this little guy? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #help #GreggersSupportingGreggers #PlantAddict #ADHDPLANTLOVERS #advice #helpneeded

Peperomia Party! Like a lot of you I didn't make it long into the new year before I bought more plants 🙃. Meet the neighbors! Orwell, the Royal Princess Peperomia Sangre, the Piccolo Banda Peperomia Marley, the Luna Red (though it looks more chocolate to me??) Harper & Heath, the Abricos I ended up splitting Yella, the Moonlight Peperomia All from The Green Escape. Sangre was a little rough, lost half the leaves in travel, but everyone else looked great! Quick soil check found millipedes in Orwell but all new plants get dunked in the good stuff so they should be fine. #plantaddict #plantmail #happyplants #peperomia #peperomiaabricos #peperomiamoonlight #peperomiapiccolobanda #peperomialunared #peperomiaroyalprincess #begonia #begoniashydancer #begoniastormysunset #calatheacrew #junglevelvet #dapperpineapple #thegreenescape

My #PeperomiaHope leaf prop is now a whole-a** baby plant 🌱🪴😇 I propagated a leaf last summer and now she is growing vines. Such a good feeling 🥰 Pic 1 is mom and baby together.

Now look at her. 🤗💚🌿 #HappyPlants #Peperomia #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #Propagation #peperomiapals #babevila
