Description

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

• 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 Frasier 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.

Keep the peperomia leaves dry and provide good air circulation to prevent diseases.

Peperomia Magnoliifolia Care

• It is occurring in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world, though concentrated in Central America and northern South America. A limited number of species (around 17) are found in Africa. 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
