About Vining Peperomia
The best of both worlds, this plant has beautiful vining foliage and the hardiness of a Peperomia! Peperomia 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 🦅.

How to fertilize Vining 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 Vining Peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What is this? I just got this from Lowe’s with no tag. The app identified it as ViningPeperomia. Do y’all agree? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewPlantMom #PlantCorner #PlantID #PlantLoveFest

Is it a pest??? #Peperomia She was looking a little rough so I started inspecting the leaves. The white dots are in the leaves - I cant rub them off. It seems to be mainly on the leaves closest to the roots with the further out leaves looking wonderful and dark. The dead leaves in the pot look like they had spots on them. I dont know what to do!

My vining peperomia is looking deflated all of the sudden. Also, it has some vines that have turned a dark black color and died. Any recommendations on what to do? #Peperomia

So many questions! #Peperomia #advice #Propagating First, is this the correct plant type? I have no idea what it is but was given some cuttings that I rooted in water for a little more than a month. I just planted in a well draining mix about 10 days ago and gave it a good drink 4 days ago. Any advice on care? Does it look correct? Some of the leaves are turning light green/yellow and mushy and easily plucked from the stem (which I have been doing). Third photo is the original plant that the cuttings came from. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #

Not sure what I am doing wrong. She’s under a grow light and has been watered. Started with leaves and now has one left #Peperomia

Why is she yellowing? This is Penelope, and I had her in a pot that was getting little for her. She was turning yellow, so I moved her to a bigger pot and added new soil, and her leaves are getting more yellow and now more leaves are dying. How can I help her!?

Though I’m having some trouble with it currently, I really like this plant. When I got it, it was kinda small. I put it outside in a shady area and it got plenty of rain and it became amazingly lush and dark, rich green. Since moving houses I attempted to place it in a similar spot but it is less bushy, droopy and kinda yellowing.

My variegated Peperomia scandens has been a hardy plant despite my feeble attempts to keep it alive. I almost killed it by overwatering, but with emergency first aid it recovered and has grown from an upright plant to a vining one. I wait till the soil is almost all dry before I water. I also pulled it back by about five feet from a northeast facing window, plus it’s about the same distance from an east facing window. The leaves were yellowing from too much morning sun and too much indirect bright light. I’m relieved it’s looking happy right now.
