Peperomia obtusifolia ‘Gold’
Family
Piperaceae
Origin
Mexico & Carribean
Description
The glossy, oval, fleshy and multicoloured leaves of the P. obtusifolia Gold come in shades of light green & light cream. The marbled variegation turns a gold shade towards the tip. The pale green flowers are minute and packed tightly on slender spikes which sometime branch produced at the stem tips or from stems along the leaf joints. Flowering occurs throughout the year on mature plants. Fruits are small and have warty surfaces
Its preference for higher humidity levels and tendency to stay relatively compact make this plant a great choice for terrariums.
Environment
Keep in indirect sunlight. Any window besides South facing ones should work well. Peperomia Clusiifolia is known to grow very well under artificial lighting, which means it s a great option for darker rooms.
It needs plenty of air around the roots, hence a relatively loose soil with good drainage would be ideal.
Landscape Uses
Kitchens, Bathrooms , Greenhouse & Terrarium
Note
One unique aspect of Peperomia is that all their foliage purifies the air, according to NASA research
