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 are these spots? Just repotted my peperomia and noticed these dark spots on just the underside of the leaves. Is this normal or is something wrong?

Don't You Die On Me! Sylvia's been pretty great since I got her, besides being extremely delicate. About a week ago, she started declining, losing a ton of her leaves and vines, also brown spots appeared on some of them. Did I over water it? I barely water it to begin with. And is this plant super delicate by nature? For it's always losing leaves without even touching it. Any suggestions are appreciated. Blessing! ☀️🍀💖 #Peperomia #peperomiapals #PepperomiaPod #ViningPeperomia

Hi! Anyone know what’s going on with my Goldfish plant? It used to be much bigger and bushier until I repotted it. I took it out of its plastic nursery pot, which used to be in a hanging basket directly in front of a window. Now, this. #

What other plant parents say
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.
