Peperomia plants have been around for many years and are still famous as easy-to-care houseplants. Peperomia nitida 'Peperomia Scandens' belong to the Piperaceae or the peppers plant family. This hanging Peperomia is native to the tropical rain forests in Mexico and South America, where it trails from huge trees.
Peperomia plants need to be in free-draining good quality potting compost at a bright spot in filtered sunlight. Water only when the soil has dried out. If you’re planning to put it outside, choose a shady spot, and make sure the soil isn’t heavy.
It has a shallow root system. The leaves and stems can store water so the plant can easily survive for some time without water.
PLANT CARE
• Light: Low to bright, indirect light
• Water: Water once soil dries out
• Considerations: Prefers warm environments inside and adaptable for nearly any situation, tolerates a range of humidity levels
