🌿 Peperomia Angulata (Also known as Peperomia ‘Parallel’)
Peperomia Angulata is a compact, trailing beauty with deep green, oval leaves that feature striking light green veins running in parallel — giving it a unique, textured appearance. Its low-maintenance nature and graceful trailing habit make it ideal for shelves, tabletops, or hanging planters. A charming choice for anyone looking to add greenery to small spaces or build a lush indoor plant collection.
🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation and compact growth.
Tolerates: Medium light.
Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn and faded coloring.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry before watering.
Frequency: Once every 7–10 days in active growth seasons; reduce in cooler months.
Important: Peperomias are semi-succulent — they store water in their leaves. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: Well-draining mix with peat, perlite, and a bit of coco coir or orchid bark.
Pot: Use a pot with drainage holes. A small decorative ceramic pot works great for its compact size.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Once a month during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.
Avoid: Over-fertilizing or using rich formulas, which can stress the plant.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Prune: Trim leggy or damaged stems to promote fuller growth and maintain a tidy shape.
Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings placed in water or moist soil.
Cleaning: Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft cloth to remove dust.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Enjoys average indoor humidity; thrives with a little extra moisture in drier climates.
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C (64–80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).
