Description
Peperomia angulata is a charming trailing houseplant admired for its distinctive patterned foliage. The small, lance-shaped leaves are deep green with light green stripes running along the veins, giving them a striking textured look.
Its stems are reddish-brown, adding contrast and elegance to the cascading growth habit. Perfect for hanging baskets, tabletops, or terrariums, this plant brings a lush, decorative touch to indoor spaces.
Environment
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can adapt to medium light but avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.
-
Soil: Grows best in a well-draining, airy soil mix, ideally a blend designed for succulents or orchids, with added perlite or coco chips for breathability.
-
Watering: Needs moderate watering. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings, as the plant stores some water in its fleshy leaves. Overwatering should be avoided.
-
Fertilizer: Benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength, applied once a month during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Minimal feeding is required in winter.
Landscape Uses
Kitchens, Bathrooms , Greenhouse & Terrarium
Note
One unique aspect of Peperomia is that all their foliage purifies the air, according to NASA research
