About Peperomia 'Peppermill'
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!

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Peperomia 'Peppermill' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Possible pests on my new baby rubber plant?? There’s a couple little holes and brown dots. It’s currently quarantined in its own small greenhouse. #BabyRubberPlant #RubberPlant #peperomiaobtusifolia #Peperomia #plantcare #PestsAndPlants

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. Mom was a mess when I got her! Half dead from being neglected at the grocery store. Now look at her. 🤗💚🌿 #HappyPlants #Peperomia #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #Propagation #peperomiapals #babevila

Where's the beat place to put these? I have a Peperomia and Fittonia. Where should I put them? Available spots: East-facing windowsill (it gets lots of ants), shelf 3 feet away from the East-facing window, and a side table 1 foot away from that window. What's the best spot? #peperomia #babyrubberplant #fittonia #nerveplant
