Peperomia quadrangularis, Beetle

4” Peperomia quadrangularis shown

A cute little trailing peperomia, also known as Peperomia Beetle or Peperomia angulata. The small waxy leaves have light green stripes that make them look like watermelons. An excellent choice to trail from a shelf or as a hanging plant.

• LIGHT: Bright to medium indirect light.

• WATER: Let the soil dry out halfway between watering. Doesn’t want to completely dry out, but doesn’t like its roots to sit in water.

• FERTILIZER: Feed once a month during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
