Peperomia plants can be pruned anywhere along the stem. New growth develops from the nodes just below the cut in the stem.

4 inch (10 cm) Grower Round Plastic Pot (Black) |
The palmate pattern of leaf veins is marked out in some species as
furrows in the leaves or as colored lines. Most Peperomias have tiny flowers
which are packed into a characteristic greenish or brown conical spike (spadix)
like an inverted catkin.
A few species have more attractive flowers such as
the white, scented clusters of spikes produced by Peperomia fraseri from
Ecuador.

Planting And Care
If your peperomia plants are wilting, in spite of regular watering, the
plant is likely not getting enough oxygen to the roots.
Peperomia Orba Care
Most Peperomia species can be relatively easily propagated from leaf
cuttings, similar to the way African violets are propagated. Remove large
leaves with their stalks (petioles) and bury in seedling starting soil. Use of
a rooting hormone can increase odds of success. Place the cutting in a warm,
bright place until new growth emerges.
|
Sunlight |
Peperomia do well in light to moderate light, such as found in a
northern or east-facing window. They can be easily grown under fluorescent
lights. |
|
Watering |
Keep the soil moist during the growing season and provide relatively
high humidity through spraying or by setting the pot in a gravel tray. |
|
Soil |
A loose, well-drained, very rich potting mix |
|
Temperature |
Average. Peperomia do well in the relatively cool environment of most
homes (although they dislike the dry). Aim for 65 degrees F to 75 degrees F. |
|
Fertilizer |
Fertilize biweekly during the growing season with a diluted liquid
fertilizer or use controlled-release fertilizer pellets at the beginning of
the growing season. |
