About parallel 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 parallel 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 parallel peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

This is Cosmo 🌿✨ Another favorite of mine 💗 I absolutely just love looking at him! I recently propped it up on bamboo sticks and it looks perfect to me. These stems are measuring about 12in/30cm and I will more than likely keep it at this height and chop if it grows taller and starts to flop and then prop those stems.

I’m a texture freak. For plants that are textured I find myself “petting” my plants like my dog. 😂 My most recent purchase, Peperomia tetragona, has amazing textured leaves that were a surprise. I also love my Asparagus fern, Dischidia ovata, Philo Micans and Alocasia Black Velvet to name a few. So my question to you all, what are your top textured plants that I need to add to my #wishlist? #HappyPlants #texturedplants #PlantAddict #texturedplants #plantznbirdz

I just bought this not knowing any thing other than the tag said “tropical”. Is this a jewel orchid? I’m not certain Greg has it right. #JewelOrchid

any clue why the bottom leaves aren't thriving? seems to be darkening in color and pointing upwards been following Greg's watering schedule. wondering if its due to humidity #parallelpeperomia

I haven’t posted in a while I feel but today is the day because this baby deserves the spotlight! I bought this plant a little while back and a piece broke off. For a couple months I kept trying to stick it back in the dirt and make it look pretty. I was hoping it would root and keep growing. Every time I’d water it would wiggle around and I thought maybe it’ll never grow. This whole time I’m waiting for it to start wilting. I check it every so often. Today I checked and it’s stuck!! Couldn’t pull it out not one bit!! I’m beyond happy! (It’s the little small one on the bottom kinda lopsided but still perfectly imperfect 😍) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #julesplants

Why are the leaves falling off my peperomia jelly plant? #Peperomia

Leaves are dry I bought a peper December 23th but I never took care of a peper before. She was giving pepers and it was pretty, until today. Now the leaves are like... dry, but I watered yesterday. Do I have to cut the pepers to help it grow? Is it water? Does anybody knows #peperomia #newplantmom #boughtdyingplants
