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 🦅.

Vining Peperomia may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.

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's the best location for this plant? Is placing it on a windowsill too much sun? I had it hanging where it got some light from a grow light but doesn't seem like it's growing looks like top of it ,leaves drying out, is this from over watering? #Peperomia

My peperomia is struggling Hiiiii! So I’ve had my peperomia for a few years now and it was growing and getting very beautiful. But the past month or so it’s started to get sad? Then I started to not a lot it’s leafs falling off and eventually the stems started to darken up to and fall out… I have no idea why. I water it once to twice a month since I got it and it was doing great with that schedule. Only thing that changed was me moving to a room in the basement… any ideas/solutions are appreciated! #help #advice #NewPlantMom

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

Can get leggy if it doesn’t get enough light. Tough plant that came back from root rot and thrips!

Very easy. I’ve never had any problems, and this lady has been through a move, remodel, and lots of ignoring. She’s such a beauty, delicate in appearance but hearty in reality. She’s one of my very favorites. Just looking at her will always bring a smile to my face ❤️

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.

Very picky about watering and light, be careful with overwatering because it rottens very easily

Not sure about this one, it is better than it was. I think it doesn’t like the ceramic pot, in my experience most plants don’t.

In love with this vine, some leaves turn brown easily though. Grows very fast, and can trim as desired.

This plant is really easy to propagate- just stick some cuttings in water for a few weeks and you’re good to go. Plus they grown really fast and have funny little curled flowers in the spring/summer.
