Peperomia antoniana ‘Green’

Description Native to: Peru Peperomia antoniana ‘Green’ is a small species that forms a bush. Round, green, white-speckled leaves will reach about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, probably larger.  The stems are sturdy enough to grow upright and branch out to form a bushy structure. This species has been an easy grower for us, both terrestrially and epiphytically. P. antoniana ‘Green’ is a very attractive little plant that will brighten up your vivarium. Like other small Peperomia species, the leaves of P. antoniana ‘Green’ are delicate and easily broken off, so you may lose a few leaves when unpacking and transplanting it. However, this species often grows back from just one leaf so don’t throw away fallen leaves! Just place a leaf on damp sphagnum moss and it may soon take root.   To get a cutting started, keep the node(s) in contact with damp substrate like sphagnum moss, without covering the entire stem. It will root well into substrates like ABG or potting mix, but we recommend using sphagnum moss along with it to keep the plant from drying out. Please feel free to message us if you have any concern or question about rooting a cutting.
