Peperomia Info

Peperomia flowering - Peperomia turboensis

Peperomia is a widely distributed tropical & subtropical genre of plants thought to contain over 1400 different species. The majority of these can be found in tropical America, although a limited number also grow in Africa, Australia, Madagascar, and the Philippines. One of the things that makes Peperomia easily identifiable is their flower spikes, illustrated in a couple of the photos above. The majority of these are fairly small, and many of the types we work with can can be grown epiphytically. We consider Peperomia plants an especially versatile, easy, and rewarding choice for use in an enclosed terrarium environment.

About Our Peperomia

Peperomia At NEHERP
We've been working with Peperomia since we opened for business, and they are some of our favorite plants to grow. While a few varieties we work with can be grown as a houseplant, the majority of the plants in our lineup are best housed in a terrarium. Their flexible growing habits and potential to be grown epiphytically (usually) mean some of these species will do equally well planted terrestrially or mounted to a custom background. With reasonable lighting requirements and their forgiving nature, Peperomia are an awesome choice for anyone designing a tropical or subtropical live vivarium environment. Our collection of these grows every year, and are always looking to acquire new & exciting varieties for our lineup.

How We Grow Our Peperomia
We grow our Peperomia under either custom LEDs or basic T5HO grow lights depending on the species. For reference, the PAR rating of our Peperomia growing areas ranges from 45-95µMol/M²S at plant level, depending on the species. We maintain relative humidity between 65-75%, keep temperatures between 68-85F, and utilize automated misting & watering cycles whenever we can. Although they can be grown epiphytically, the majority of ours are simply grown in our specially mixed organic potting soil. The available plants are raised in the mild potting soil and ship before they require additional nutrients, but the mother plant stock we propagate from are fed using extremely mild, balanced, organic nutrients every 2-3 months. That same regimen would likely be a good starting place for your new plants, if you don't plan on keeping them in a vivarium. (No additional fertilization should be required in a viv!) We're proud of the Peperomia we grow, and we're confident you'll love the plants you receive!

Growing Peperomia Plants In A Bioactive Terrarium / Live Vivarium
In a vivarium, we'd recommend either mounting these epiphytically using a Plant Mounting Kit, or simply planting them terrestrially using a Vivarium Base Kit. Any of our Vivarium Lighting Kits would work with these plants, with the LED options performing best. So long as the plants are added to an enclosure built to the specifications described in Vivarium Construction 101 & 102, maintenance should be fairly straightforward & limited with the majority of the plants we carry. Every individual plant below has more specific info to check out, so scroll down to see what we'd recommend!

Plant Size Info

Potted Plants:

Plant nurseries roughly categorize their plants by pot size, and a plant is made available once it has mostly filled out it's container. Generally speaking, a 4in potted plant is roughly twice the size of a 3in pot, and a 3in potted plant is typically twice the size of a 2in pot. Needless to say, we do our best to offer big & healthy plants which were categorized honestly, and are representative of the photos we've got listed on the site. Every potted plant we sell is shipped bare root, and the root ball of the plant is carefully wrapped in paper towels before it's placed back into it's cleaned pot for shipping. From there, it's wrapped in clean brown packing paper and labeled with it's species before shipping.

Live Mats:

Healthy Background Plants For Terrariums

We're proud to offer a brand new way to order plants, and we're loving the results so far. Our Live Mats are grown with plenty of light & the ideal amount of moisture required to form a dense mat. Before shipping, each section is gently separated from it's sealed container, rinsed free of excess potting soil, and carefully placed in a partially inflated airtight bag. Depending on the specific plant, live mats can planted terrestrially or attached to a background to grow epiphytically. These are exceptionally dense portions of plants, so a little can go a long way!

Rooted Portions:

Some plants we grow are offered in rooted portions, which are slightly smaller portions than would typically be included in a 3in pot. The length and overall portion size depends on the species being offered, but these do include a portion of the root system for easy planting & fast acclimation. When it comes time to ship, we'll carefully separate the portion from it's mother plant, rinse the roots free of potting soil, and carefully wrap the roots in a ball of moist paper towels. From there, the plant is wrapped in clean brown packing paper and labeled with it's species before shipping.

Clippings:

Clippings are the smallest size portion of what we offer. Depending on the species, clippings may or may not include small attached roots. Plants we sell as clippings are typically epiphytic in nature, meaning they'll grow without soil on the surface of another plant (or wood decor, backgrounds, etc). The difficulty in planting clippings depends entirely on the species, so don't hesitate to ask before ordering if you are curious. When it comes time to ship, we carefully clean, wrap, and seal our clippings in partially filled bags to ensure the safest transit possible. Like everything else we sell, these are individually labeled with ID.

Peperomia albovittata 'Piccolo Banda'

Peperomia Piccolo Banda

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

All available examples of Peperomia albovittata 'Piccolo Banda' are clones we've grown from a single plant which was gifted to us by a customer in 2021. With a similar growth pattern to more common Peperomia caperata, Piccolo Banda seems to be a little more tolerant of occasionally drying out. Unlike most of the other Peperomia we grow, this one seems to do best with a slightly richer soil (if kept as a houseplant), with healthiest coloration being maintained with monthly feeding. Stays compact at under 12in tall, and is a great choice for terrariums or as a houseplant.

Peperomia eburnea

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

This is a fairly uncommon species which we only have available in small quantities. Peperomia eburnea features ovate green leaves, and will grow easily in either a trailing or scandent pattern. The leaves feature visible white vein structure, with the color variance growing deeper in higher PAR conditions. This species can be grown epiphytically in a humid environment if it's kept on a reasonably moist surface. We have not yet attempted to grow this plant as a "houseplant", and have only kept them in enclosed environments. In a terrarium, Peperomia eburnea does best when mounted up high & allowed to trail downward. It stays around 3-4in high before beginning to hang & spread downward.

Peperomia emarginella 'Ecuador'

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

Peperomia emarginella 'Ecuador' is an extremely delicate & uncommon plant endemic to (you guessed it!) Ecuador. This plant is a relatively slow grower for us, and it's also pretty difficult to propagate due to it's ultra-tiny stems. It will grow to form a living mats when conditions are right. We recommend keeping it in fairly high humidity for best results, and be sure to offer plenty of light to ensure the plant can keep it's attractive patterning on the leaves. In a terrarium it'll grow epiphytically or terrestrially, but we think gently mounting it on a background as an epiphyte looks best. This one is not recommended to be kept as a houseplant, since it's humidity requirements are high and it's prone to dessication if allowed to dry out for long.

Peperomia incana

Felted Peperomia

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

Peperomia incana's fuzzy green leaves can't be missed while walking through our grow rooms. It has a slow upright growth pattern at first, which eventually begins to spread outward as the plant matures. Although endemic to Amazonian Brazil, we've found that this species isn't very tolerant of an especially moist soil, so it's important to provide it some time to dry slightly between watering sessions. The appearance of the white fuzz on the leaves disappears after a thorough misting session, but returns once the plant has dried out a bit. Overall, it's one tough little houseplant!

Peperomia metallica 'Ecuador'*

Red Tree Peperomia

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

This terrestrial-growing Peperomia has dark elliptic leaves patterned with metallic green markings. The leaves are a bit smaller, more narrow, and have a brighter green coloration than the more common 'Colombiana' cultivar. We haven't had the chance to grow this as a houseplant, but assume it'll do well with the same care we've used for the more common variety. (Partial shade to filtered sun & keep soil moist) In a terrarium this plant grows upward of 6-8in tall and spreads outward with time. It does well in high humidity, so long as it's not in overly-wet conditions. We purchased this plant as Peperomia metallica 'Ecuador' back in 2018, but here seems to be a few names floating around for what seems to be this same cultivar. (We suspect the 'Narrow Leaf' form may be the same!) If you've got concrete info with regard to the cultivar name of this plant, please let us know. We're eager to learn more!

Peperomia obtusifolia 'Variegata'

Marble Spoonleaf Peperomia

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

Obtusifolia is one of the most common Peperomia species on the market. It's relatively small growth pattern and forgiving nature make it an awesome choice for a wide variety of conditions. We work with two variegated varieties of this species, and we've heard this type called either Obtusifolia variegata or Obtusifolia 'Marble'. Whatever you call it, it's variegated pattern has a smoother gradient and more green coloration than the other type we work with.

Peperomia orba

Pixie Peperomia

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

A bushy-growing species of Peperomia which requires high humidity and fairly well draining soil to thrive. The ovular slightly hairy leaves typically grow to 1in or smaller, and the plant is a fairly quick grower overall. As a houseplant, Peperomia orba does especially well planted in a hanging basket/pot. In an enclosure, this plant is easiest to grow terrestrially, but can also be mounted epiphytically with a little extra effort. So long as it's roots don't stay too wet, this species is fairly forgiving.

Peperomia prostrata

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

This is one of the more sought-after Peperomia species in the live vivarium hobby. It's native to tropical South America, and it's delicate trailing pattern makes it an excellent vivarium plant. The tiny (~1/8-3/8in) leaves of this species have awesome patterns with colors which brighten or fade depending on the conditions. In our experience higher amounts of PAR (75+µMol/M²S) in higher humidity (75% R/H) allows the plant to present with it's boldest coloration & quickest growth. As a houseplant kept in a hanging basket or pot, it's higher humidity requirements can require a little extra care (misting) than some of our other Peperomia. This is one of the more difficult of the usually easy to grow Peperomia species we offer, and isn't available often. Does best when planted up high and is allowed to hang & trail downward. Tolerates low to moderate amounts of light, and does best with moist soil.

Peperomia turboensis is a real beauty, and is a less-than-common species. While growing this as a houseplant is totally possible, it's most commonly kept in some type of humid enclosure. With a metallic sheen on every leaf and a compact growth pattern, this humidity-loving plant couldn't be more well suited to live in a live vivarium. Tolerates a wide range of conditions, but the deeper colors will appear when grown under higher humidity & fair levels of PAR light (50µMol/M²S+).

Peperomia obtusifolia 'Variegata'

Marble Spoonleaf Peperomia

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

Obtusifolia is one of the most common Peperomia species on the market. It's relatively small growth pattern and forgiving nature make it an awesome choice for a wide variety of conditions. We work with two variegated varieties of this species, and we've heard this type called either Obtusifolia variegata or Obtusifolia 'Marble'. Whatever you call it, it's variegated pattern has a smoother gradient and more green coloration than the other type we work with.

Peperomia sp. 'Venezuela #2'

▾ Show Plant Description ▾

The mother plant we propagated these plants from was donated to us by our team member Mike W. This variety had been in his collection for awhile, and we're glad to have the opportunity to work with it! We don't know much about the background of this plant, other than it was collected from Venezuela at some point prior to 2012. It's coloration varies between rust to green depending on conditions, and seems to prefer growing in an upward habit.

Standard Shipping Not Recommended

It is very unlikely your plants will survive if shipped using standard service in these temperatures, and we don't recommend it! You can choose to take that risk by selecting Standard shipping during checkout (the default option), but we won't be able to replace or refund any items if they arrive damaged. If you are ordering a bunch of heavier supplies and perishables, it's often cheaper to place two separate orders so that the supplies can cheaply ship ground while the smaller perishable box ships express. Sorry, but we do not offer "hold for safe window" service when standard shipping is selected in temperatures this extreme.

Express Shipping

Please select express shipping during checkout, to give your perishables the best chance of survival. We aren't able to offer our guarantee when temperatures are below 20^°Fabove 95^°F, so our team will hold your order in anticipation of the soonest safe shipping window. If your order is held, we'll email you ASAP to work out a safer shipping schedule & discuss your options. Depending on your input, we'll either ship now (if you don't mind the risk), or hold/reserve for the next available safe (guaranteed) temperature window. We check the weather every morning when we open up, so we'll be sure to ship your order as soon as we safely can. Express-shipped orders which need to be held due to weather have their products reserved and hold their place in the outgoing order queue. (It's "first come, first served" once we're able to ship!) Only express-shipped orders qualify for our "hold for safe window" service when temperatures are this extreme.

An Express shipping quote is available on the last page of checkout before finalizing payment.

Please select express shipping during checkout if you'd like to qualify for our live arrival guarantee. Orders shipped using standard service in temperatures like these don't carry a live arrival guarantee, and we don't recommend it unless you feel comfortable taking that risk. If you are ordering a bunch of heavier supplies and perishables, it's often cheaper to place two separate orders so that the supplies can ship (inexpensive) ground while the perishables ship express.

Local Alternative Option: Scheduled Order Pickup

You live within a 1-day ground transit zone, so standard shipping is an appropriate option to select during checkout. We aren't able to guarantee shipments when temperatures are below 20^°Fabove 95^°F, so our team will temporarily hold your order in hopes that a slightly safer temperature window will develop. In that event, we'll email you ASAP to work out a safer shipping schedule & discuss your options. Orders which need to be held due to weather have their products reserved and hold their place in the outgoing order queue. (It's "first come, first served" once we're able to ship!)If you don't mind the drive, you could also pick up your order and save on the shipping cost while mitigating all the associated risks. :-)

Start Over

Important: We process & ship orders as quickly as we can. While we do our best to ship supply orders the same or next business day, it's not always safe (or possible) for us to do the same with orders containing plants. Plant orders carry a processing time of 1-3 days and are always scheduled to avoid weekend transit delays to help ensure healthy arrival. Please keep this in mind if you are ordering a few days before a weekend, since your order will probably not ship until the following Monday. View our full Order Processing Page for complete info.
