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 Columnar 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 Columnar Peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What is this plant? I bought a mystery bundle on Etsy but nothing came labeled and I can not figure out what this could be. I looked all over that sellers site to see something similar but nothing. It’s a succulent of some kind I think. Any help? #SucculentLove #PlantID #WhatPlantIsThis

Possible propagation? #Peperomia This fella broke off several weeks ago and I stuck it in a little pot with new soil cuz I had extra but then today I took it out to look at it and it looks the exact same however it hasn’t grown any roots but it’s not dead yet, does the bottom part look like it could grow roots eventually? What should I do with it? Any help is appreciated thank you 🙂
