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

What is this? Found this little ball in my baby rubber plant while watering today. I don’t think it’s from my potting mix as I’ve never seen one before. #Peperomia

Is my peperomia trying to flower? #Peperomia I thought it was just a leaf but now looking closer it almost looks like it’s about to flower? I didn’t even know these guys produced flowers and it’s a plant I largely ignore.

I combined all my #peperomiaobtusifolia in one pot. Propagating broken leaves and making a cut on the mother plant helped me get to this beautiful full pot. Fingers crossed 🤞 the transition goes well. 😍 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #Peperomia #MarblePeperomia #BabyRubberPlant

Celeste is Unstopabble ✨🌿 Celeste has been the talk of my posts recently as this girl does not stop growing. I woke up today and first thing I do is inspect my plants and talk to them. MS. CELESTE IS PUSHING OUT TWO MORE LEAVES ALREADY Y’ALL 🥲🌱 I don’t know how she does it. I know peperomias grow fast, but she’s the only one I’ve had that has grown this fast in such a short amount of time 😱 I’ve been busy with work so I haven’t been able to keep the room to her needs, so she’s been a lil dry lately and curling on me. She’ll be fine though ☺️🤍 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #Peperomia #peperomiapals #GregGang #CentralTexasGang #kscapedream

Ms. Celeste wants to show off her #NewGrowth ! 🌿✨ Hey again, #Greggers 🌱🤍 This is Celeste, my gorgeous #MarbledPeperomia. ⚡️She’s been showing me how good of a job I’ve been doing in terms of taking care of her. I love the variegation on her newer leaves, especially the leaf in the second picture (it’s the most variegated one so far out of all the ones she has). 📸 Last picture I took a couple of days after I got her from the store. She was only a little baby!! 🥹🥹 💫 I like to think that Celeste is one of my besties and that her and I tend to be on the same wavelength ✨🌱 so she’s just thriving ✨☀️ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #BeforeAndAfter #PeperomiaPals #GregGang #CentralTexasGang #kscapedream

What’s wrong with Celeste? Hey Y’all, I’ve noticed things on the surface of my peperomia’s leaves and was wondering if this is the result of something? Not enough light? Water chemical damage? I’ve noticed these before but thought it could have been the water I was using. All my plants are in the same room, but I had to quarantine some since they were showing signs of fungal/bacterial disease. I also found a brown spot on it, that seems to not be scale? I rubbed a qtip with alcohol and it did not scrape off. It looks like it’s indented into the plant. I actually marked where there’s also other indent circles on the leaf 🌿 ❗️In the second picture, the arrow is pointing at the left leaf. If you look closely, the bottom of the leaf has bumps. ⚡️I fertilized all my plants using MiracleGro yesterday and they all seem to be doing great. ☀️Their light consists of 3-6 hours of indirect daylight and sometimes will go under the grow light for 4 more hours after taking a break. 💦I water Celeste about every 2 weeks :)
