Introduction and History Peperomia plants are a diverse genus of over 1,000 species, originating from tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including Central and South America. First formally classified in the 18th century, Peperomia species are celebrated for their ornamental foliage and compact growth, making them perfect for indoor settings. Known as the “radiator plants,” their adaptability and charm have made them a popular choice for plant enthusiasts of all levels.
Description and Features Peperomia plants are characterised by their small stature, thick stems, and fleshy leaves, which vary greatly in shape, size, and texture. Common species include:
Care Instructions
Peperomias prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate low-light conditions, making them ideal for vivariums, terrariums, or rooms with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves.
Feed with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in autumn and winter. For those searching how to fertilise a Peperomia plant, ensure you use a gentle, liquid formula.
Regularly prune leggy stems and remove damaged or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant’s compact shape. How to prune a Peperomia: Use clean scissors and cut just above a node to encourage new growth.
