Peperomia Magnoliifolia

Planting and care

It is occurring in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world, though concentrated in Central America and northern South America. A limited number of species (around 17) are found in Africa. Most Peperomia species can be relatively easily propagated from leaf cuttings, similar to the way African violets are propagated. Remove large leaves with their stalks (petioles) and bury in seedling starting soil. Use of a rooting hormone can increase odds of success. Place the cutting in a warm, bright place until new growth emerges.

Caring for Peperomia Magnoliifolia

• If your peperomia plants are wilting, in spite of regular watering, the plant is likely not getting enough oxygen to the roots.
• Keep the peperomia leaves dry and provide good air circulation to prevent diseases.

Typical uses of Peperomia Magnoliifolia

Ornamental use: The Peperomia houseplant is an attractive addition to a desk, a table or as a member of your houseplant collection. Peperomia care is not difficult and Peperomia plants have a compact form that lets them occupy a small space wherever you choose to place them.
