Dark Green Beetle Radiator PlantLatin name:
Peperomia angulata ‘Rocca Scuro’About me:
I am a lesser seen member of the Peperomia genus. I sport fine, neatly-traced leaves on long hanging stems.
Useful to know:
Origin
I am from Peru
Height/Growth
I am slow-growing and will reach 20-30cm in height but my vines can get longer than that
Light
I love medium light and really dislike direct sunlight
Water
I store water in my leaves so only water me when the soil has dried out and never leave me sitting in water
Temperature
A warm environment is best, I'll suffer if I'm in a room below 12°C
Feeding
A balanced fertiliser once a month in spring and summer is enough for me
Grooming
I’m super easy - just dust my leaves regularly!
Care
Overwatering is my most likely cause of illness. I can withstand droughts but overly wet soil can kill me
Toxicity
Perfectly safe for all
Fact
The name Peperomia is derived from the Greek ‘peperi’ meaning ‘pepper’ and ‘homoios’, which means ‘resembling’
